i took my dads 10 old cocks that didnt go across the water, training about 15 miles today and tossed them up 2 at a time at every 5 mins, i lossed the last 2 up, put the baskets in the car and looked up and saw the 2 birds coming straight bak at me wich i thought was strange, they just went passed me and kept going, i was puzzled, i got in the car and drove off, i got back on the motorway, wich was about 1/4 mile away, my wife said whats that in the air, it was somke kind of hawk but was massive(dad said it could of been a buzzard)
i looked across and about 1/4 mile away there was another 1 hovering in the air, i just saw it take some kind of bird out of the air, what chance do our birds have against these, when i got home there was just the last two cocks missing, all of the other 4 lots had come ropughly 5 mins apart as thjey were loosed, the last 2 didnt come on time, i was worried that they had been had by the birds, but fortunatley they came about 25mins later,some how found there way rounbd, so this time they didnt have a collision with this bird but some unlucky thing did. was just shocked as they were there by a training site that is well used by local flyers..
