Maybe the fault is with all the North of Scotland Fed members as they no longer have a convoyer traveling with the birds The only persons with the birds was the driver and his son who do not have any experience with the birds as this is there first season convoying. Im sure you wouldnt ask any Tom, Dick, Harry , too give your birds a training toss So why do it on a race day Im not blaming the driver or his son as they were only doing a job as they have done a fine job up too now.
