This is staring us in the face and has to happen now I've already let some latebreds hatch that wouldn't normally have been taken shame they won't reach there potential. Regards racing ybs in West of Scotland, a look at bringing the federations together for second half of the oldbird season and thus freeing up transportation to start our ybs racing on the same weekends is definitely another option that should be looked into instead of sending them down the road at the height of raptor activity. Racing out to Dunbar etc is fine and well but to me that's giving into the problem and not being able then to fully enjoy a full programme.
