still in shock Rip Alex

the problem that fanciers had 100 years ago when we all raced the west or centre route is still there and has never been sorted and that is a strong east or south east wind takes the birds over to the Irish sea and Ireland resulting in heavy losses and the same thing will happen again now even more as our climate over the past 5or6 years or more has been east winds for most of the old bird season most losses are between 100 and 250 miles when birds are libbed in strong east or southeast winds its nothing new and it will happen again if we keep repeating the same stupid mistakes our forefathers made so how do we sort it when we have a strong east or southeast wind forcast the race controller must have the power and the bottle to send the birds to a more easterly race point so the birds have the time to get there line before they end up in Ireland and lost and another meeting called to go back east blaming it on Hawks its bad race controlling yes there will be hawks same as the east route but first and fore most its the east wind hence the reason we do not have as many losses in east winds when racing from the east the birds get time to get there line before there blown to Ayrshire and Ireland where they have never been and any Ayrshire birds libbed with us with the help of the wind will help drag lanarkshire birds where they do not want to be noting against the Ayrshire boys there route is hard enough but its the same for them and us when the winds are in the west and the east coast birds with the help of the wind drags our pigeons over to the east coast its common sence we cant keep doing the same thing and expect a different result dont wait till it happens find a few easterly race points we can get into at short notice even if its not RPRA a field will do in such a scenario no one will want to be told we lost half the convoy because we could not get in anywhere else lets plan now and give our birds every chance to get home

guys i know i keep talking up John Shorts Pigeons and his Stud heres why ive always been one for giving credit where its due did it when i was winning with the Louella birds not to blow my own horn i dont need to do that results speak for themselves i do it to give the breeders the credit they deserve and to let the fancy know where to buy good honest pigeons from good honest breeders then its up to you to get the best out of them i went to the first race with 43 pigeons bred by John Short or bred from my John Short stock birds from these 43 birds i have won four first clubs four west sections Lanarkshire Fed and thirty seven fed tickets from five races from 43 pigeons dont know about you but i find this percentage incredible and still one race to go although i will now stop some of the multi prize winners and put them by for next year but are these not incredible stats from johns stud im telling you because johns not the type of guy to blow his own horn so i will do it for him brilliant mr short keep them coming pal the past two races i added some of my own distance birds to the team but could have left them at home as there no where near these birds but need the the races under there belt for next year
