Sorry to hear this, it's a real sickener

Very good team performance

You would have to ask Tom Kelly that question.

Pigeon is in Dundee.

Came in tonight mealy cock, SU 12 AB 3762 - this pigeon carries a ring with an Edinburgh telephone number. On phoning the number, the pigeon had been at Tom Kelly's loft in Musselburgh for the past 10 days and cleared out yesterday morning. Tom put a ring with his tel no. on it to let the owner know where it had been. The bird is carrying a slight injury. Brian Donnelly Dundee.

PM sent

ring was issued to George Brown.

Thanks Ian, I'll phone Willie.

In tonight, Dark Ch SU 14 AB 2414 - any takers ?

I think they had a dark ch hen they named Webbie - if my memory is correct she won a gold award in SNFC.

Good positive attitude

I've had that problem here too Kenny. When it happens, I usually keep the doos in for 2 or 3 days and it seems to break the peregrine's routine ?? I have had 2 killed this year by a pair of peregrines, think the hen has laid now, so things settle down a bit for a wee while. Try setting off a rocket - they'll clear out for a while after that.

Feel for you Kenny. Are the attacks taking place at the loft or training ?

Not many about so far this year - only seen 3.

Sorry to hear that Austin, nothing worse , hope you get them back in shortly and settled down.

Thanks for the birthday wishes guys, can get my bus pass now

Got a yearling hen killed by two peregrines last night. Birds went out at 5.30 pm, whilst I was still in the loft I heard the gulls / crows making a lot of noise. Came out to see what the commotion was, only to find two peregrines in the air. The strange thing was the falcons were not making an attempt at the birds circling the loft, they were taking turns at diving into the school playing fields behind my loft. My view over the playing field is obscured due to a raised shrub bed. It took me about 45 minutes to get the birds down and back into the loft. The peregrines were around all this time. Once I got the birds in, I realised 1 hen was missing. After a further 15 minutes, the falcons were still going about, never seen them so low and diving into the playing fields. I decided to go over into the field to see what they were diving at, sure enough behind the raised shrub bed, only 50 m from my loft, was a hen peregrine on top of the mutilated carcase of my Blue Hen - THESE *expletive removed* Doos have only been out last 4 days and been struck twice - will keep them in for a few day then see what happens. Really hacked off

Not too good Jim, have had them here since 2004, less of a problem once the hen lays.

Alf, google Cox's Stack, Dundee and you'll see the height they are at - the ledge about 15 m from the top.

Correct William, have seen the cock several times recently , but today it was the pair

One yearling cock missing - maybe hiding ??
