Aye mate that's the way I feel sometimes , well done that man for helping birds up the road .

Suns now out in the real west , pi@@in all morning since 6am , thought I was up to 10/12 ,but forgot a yearling cock so it's a poor 9/12 , 75% returns from 190 miles is not good , well I was told by good old fanciers (now dead) don't worry about the ones lasts lost ,concentrate on the ones that are home .

Now 10/12. Still a 3 yr old cock and its mate a 2 yr old hen to come .

I'm stuck on 7/12 not had a bird since 13.13 , a 3 yr old and a 2 yr old and 3 yearlings to come . 3 none timers in our club Martin Hughes wins in at 11.10. Has first 3 then big murdo with a couple then me .

Thanks Jamie ,I always try to help get birds back home , I've got them back to as far away as Wales and North London . I wish more would help each other out far too dear for couriers .birds do make mistakes even top birds be it Hawks or clashing .or weather

I've now had 6 tosses not once have they been on time or all together from 10 miles to 30 miles , I'm getting a batch then a few to half a dozen straggling in lost 6 and one very nice 2yr old cheq cock been hawked . Think this year WILL Finnish off a good few over this neck of the woods .

Don't think there will be any lib,s before 12 Kevin .at the earliest.

Happened to us last year Ricky or the year before we were the only ones in the sky and got a doing , last week we were last to go up into our area ,your thinking Percy,s been fed with others ,wrong, we got a dodgy one and all that went before us got decent races . Your right about the sport it's now in the end game IMHO .

Well lads how did it turn out ,did you have a good race ?????

What a bit of luck my work mate stays only 100yrds from the owner of this bird . Bird now back home with jimmy Lindsay .

Bird belongs to a wishaw member , a guy I work with is from wishaw so he will get a wee box to take home today with a phone number on it lol .

Thanks John just called him

Just in SU 14 L. 13145 anyone's ????

Most guys in my club use Bricon and all say it's a great system , I have unikon. I've had a few problems with it like rings ,race birds one year the following year they are not recognised ,and I've been told you can re assign a new ring on the night ,but haven't a clue how to do it ,and no one I know knows either but the Bricon guys can do this no probs I still like my unikon it has a bigger screen to read your arrivals from ,handy if your eyes aren't the best . The other pain in the er se is the annual update with Unikon .

Latest weather forecast not looking good for a race this weekend here in Scotland ,both sat and Sunday windy and rain . Hope it changes between now and then .

Owner now been contacted ,bird going home in morning .

Cheers pat ,I e mail.ed them and found out who owns it ,it's only about 15 miles away .

Just in GB. 14 H. 49210. ,nice pigeon in good condition . Actually thought it was one of mine I lost last year .
