For all i know could be we are a Jock Thamsons bairns,but read 12 posts back and you will see what am on about or do you give anyone else's opinions a chance to be debated.

Great article just read it cheers for that!.

Windy ,squally showers ,dull.Not a nice day.

Just noticed this graph looked everwhere for it to show my point thank you .

I imo! say doos dont fly in a straight line ,they are subject to prevailing winds so there fore when winds blow from the west towards the east in North Fed the birds fly in a ark from race point ,first drop Peterhead area .Now if that being the case Peterhead to Banff,and Peterhead to Turriff are virtualy same distance so therefore overfly given for nothing ,you do have to remember this is my opinion .

No i am nae makin excuses as i have not got going racing yet ,I am thinking back 15 year ago when i was first in doos and the amount of times that Turriff doos were beat with the time given in overfly to Banff ,so my assumption is wind from west no chance from east is good just my opinion .And yes Gogs is spot on.

Thats when the wind is coming in from the east ,then yes it does happen and also Gogs has some good doos.

I dont get any and give to much,but i see your point lol!

I was just reading the topic about ets and its pluses & minus thoughts and i was just thinking that position and the so called calculation for over fly needs looked at more than anything, as drag round the coast is a great factor to winning ,well up here in the north fed imo!what do fowk on here think of overfly.

It does not matter what colour bird is or colour it produces as long as they are reliable doos for you ,but on saying that the grizzle i had was paired with dark cheq hen .

Grey rainy cold ,not a nice day to say the least.

Kind offer just had Gogs in he is going to be ordeing some so problem solved cheers.

Did the fed stop taking up an order ,i remember you orded it through the club and it came on a Saterday.

Missed that small detail !!!!! lol

I have 40 rings will just see how it goes ,but no young in nest when racing starts thats a must for me.

Is this bird going on this site for sale.

I must agree with you completely i have argued the point of self build against purchase on the grounds of the price i have been quoted ,as the price on there list has no comparison to what wanted from me.

I have more leisure time than anything else forced on me by bad health, the doos keep me sane but i can only spend short times with them so cant muck about with paper n pencil ,hence the idea cheers.

Just come up with idea to make things a bit simpler in loft ,every year taking notes of ring numbers for vaccination,to put in clock computer etc etc, i have bought a dictaphone so i can pick up a bird describe it ,give the number record,then at my leisure can be written down .So here is me feeling chuffed with my purchase and in comes my son and tells me i could have done same thing with my phone ,bluddy technology hows a man supposed to keep up.But what do you"s think o the idea.

There is some crackers there ,great looking doos

Hope show did well ,not well so didnt make it ,i wanted to buy some young doos but i doubt it will have to be Louela.

I bought training crate from Body&Ridewood on the 16th still waiting .I accept i am in Scotland but have recieved things from abroad quicker,but on saying that their baskets look ok though a bit expensive,but we are British so we should expect to be ripped off.

No they were all together so some had actually picked their mates ,but they will sort themselves no doubt ,nature makes a better job of things than our intervention ,imo.

Opened some boxes yesterday whats happened ,yes 3 have laid on floor,,well well!!! The weil laid plans o mice an men gang aft aglie.
