Crazy race programme Langholm then Elgin is that correct? Youngbirds trying to navigate round a mountain range from liberation

Left with 28 from 40 after 10 races between federation and midweek club. Dropped 7 at the aforementioned wooler race. Haven't lost a single youngbird training which is a small miracle in present times. Training has been upto blackwood... roughly around 30 miles before racing started, then twice weekly from only 8 miles. Next two federation races will be very tough as convoy will be small... Half are now stopped

The north section birds ain't coming the M8 Charlie or the Beith/Dalry boys be skelping us I'd have thought they come down Irvine Valley... it's really hard to pathom as I'd have thought they come past yourself... I don't see lots of birds so they ain't overshooting only see the odd ones going back... If they were running down here then they would be turning in for these guys in the south section surely ... Definitely think the South section birds being attacked after breaking further out and being turned down into Cumbria area... Only thing I know for sure is it can't continue like that

South and Central sections of Ayrshire have had it very tough this year... Its not where we're racing from its where they're racing too... Birds taking diffrent valleys especially for South section guys... Only my own opinion how else can guys in North section have a good race when birds all libbed together

Lot 17 £30 please

Aye still waiting on the rest birds have just stopped completely

Lots 7-10-19-23.. £30 please

Steady race for Ayrshire 14/19 here

Ardeer club sent 105 of the 657 federation birds to Blaydon

Thanks Mick pigeon tossed at dumfries this afternoon... Was in fine condition, hopefully made it home

Su 21 S 3782 cheq hen Can toss in solway in next day or so

Terrible to hear that... Did the birds return?

Weekend looks a washout... Friday would be best for those who can go. Wind looks to be pretty strong northerly for Monday. May change yet 🤞

Clydsdale were at Eyemouth yesterday... Ardeer are at Carnwath today lib at 4pm

Cheers for that I'll sleep much better tonight

Blaydon was good race far as I know... I'd love to be able to race down the west route but IMO it's out of the frying pan into the fire. I do however believe you'll get your wish next season and that west programme will be voted in... We will just need to make sure we've a hall booked for an emergency meeting to change the programme after couple races

Bad weather was reason for our race yesterday we all know that

So all the solway federations ybs are inbred and that's why they won't leave the transporter.... Nothing to do with being liberated in the most densely populated area for raptors in the UK

Very sad... Even sadder that some in Ayrshire are hell bent in going that way in future

Moving might make sense as a quick fix but it's shortening an already short enough season and giving in to the issue... A much bigger more organised effort is required to lessen the threat and able fanciers to enjoy their yb racing

No worries.. saves messing around.. I was growing the grain in cows milk but was told by a top international fancier I was wasting my time as it didn't work unless using raw milk... So I binned the lot. Now use aviform product as pre/probiotic... The old man used yakult and swore by it.... Not necessarily for YBS but just for general use so sorry for going off topic

Ready made or do you grow from grain? I was led to believe its only beneficial if grown in raw milk which to my knowledge is illegal to buy/sell and for me hard to come by...

Definitely, Ayrshire looking for a Sunday race in lighter winds... smart thing to do
