  1. I've had a nightmare toss as well - 45 youngsters let loose at 5.15pm yesterday - approx 14 miles (& they had a one hour loft fly beforehand, so, in theory they would come straight home) after 1hr 35 minutes 3 arrived, and over an hour later 17 together. 18 missing at nightfall, 9 back so far this morning, 9 still adrift, it was their 4th training toss

    I`ve had 15 back so far today, going by the ruffled feathers on some of them it certainly looks like they`ve been in the trees. It was their 4th toss as well and they had been ranging well for 3 or 4 weeks. I hope you get the rest of your birds back. With regards to Doomaloom`s comment I think he`s got a good point. :emoticon-0167-beer:

  2. I tossed 64 Young birds from Winchburgh at 14:20pm. One bird two hours later, and still coming 5 hours later. I`m up to 24 now and most showing signs of being in the trees/bushes.Hopefully will get some more before dark. Every one has come from the West. All are wearing telephone numbered rings. :crying:

  3. Looks like a bad one for the Arona Derby OLR. only 2 birds back from 180mls, 1 in 7hrs ( Netherlands) & 1 in 8hrs (Belgium).there were 251 birds at the final from the 2159 that started. Only 2 Scottish birds made it to the final race. Well done to the Winners.

  4. Just back in from collecting a young Bl C from a non fancier. SU20L 13165 he`s well flown out but seems ok, the lady had been feeding him after he walked into her sitting room. If I don`t hear different i`ll put him in the stray basket. Maybe the owner could give the lady a call and thank her. Her phone No is 07368656928 :emoticon-0167-beer: A McGonigal Sec Stenhousemuir H.S. PS bird has an ETS ring on.

  5. The club base station is needing a new battery, so I emailed Unikon for a return number. Their reply was " cost £123:00 plus delivery and a possible return time of 3 - 5 weeks". I am sure it used to be that when the warning came up on the screen you had a bit of time before it really needed changing. This time, no such thing, it loses everything as soon as you take the clock out. A McGonigal, Sec Stenhousemuir H.S. :emoticon-0179-headbang:
