12 home only 1 missing so that's good so far

Well done to all

Phoned the owner it came from Nottinghamshire so getting it to my club to see if can transport to stray centre or release further down

Hi it came in my old bird loft just bit dirty but overall looks fine, I thought I put it on here as well as I have the phone number it's stamped on the wing. GB 15 D 25179 blue pied

Got wing stamp so will stamp them all before next toss again to be safe

Ok lesson learnt and now it's just 2 missing, one arrived late I tossed 13 and now 11 home

Hi just a heads up I did a training toss about 30miles from me and only 3 is missing so if anyone seen young SU17 round about ellon and upwards give SHU a phone and hopefully it's my ones the rest came back no problem. I think the 3 are a bit thin but pray they come home.

Well done Walter

Lol no just 1 beer and I'm not drunk 😵

Sick of wind farms ugly looking things spoiling the scenery of Bonnie Scotland, there's too many around Aberdeenshire area

It's a lovely evening at 6pm and letting my old birds out to fly and relaxing in the sun I watch them, this is the best bit of the hobby as well as the racing side of it, but you all need to kick back and chill with beer watching doos.

Wow and to show how a pigeon manages to fly all the way up for 600+ miles still amazes me.

Latest news finally got both dark check and grizzle in loft eating now so happy now

Latest is dark checkered white tail was on the roof of loft this morning but still reluctant to come inside but hopefully hunger gets it in and seen my grizzle flying round

That's good the doos can handle that no probs it's the 300+ miles that hurts

40miles plus is good as the first race is approximately 98 miles from where I stay Sorry 78 miles to be exact

Yes I worry too much, I hope they feel so hungry then come down eventually

They are still in the area but it's 10pm as I write this and hate the thought that they are out all night

There are loads of Bird of Preys everywhere so can't really avoid them just pray that I have clever doos to beat them to it.

I have done mintlaw 2 times and I put 1 old bird in the basket with the young so that way they learn quicker and so far they come before I'm home so looks like next step ellon area but toll of birness yeah but it's near a road I hate to release near road as dangerous, don't want squashed doos lol

They been cooped up for 5 days and nosy outside but now I have seen them 2 hanging about but not coming down, just landing on houses round the villiage, makes me wonder if they manage food or thirsty

So should I skip ellon and do Aberdeen?

Going well but missing out the first race and doing it on 22nd as I left it a bit late for training

Hi guys just wondering for the Aberdeenshire area where are the best places to release my doos from, I have already did mintlaw and looking for a place in Ellon and Aberdeen to toss. Thanks
