my first year trying darkness i have used the stuff you put on the ground to stop weeds coming up
from 8.30 until 16.30 daylight then my curtains come down
i am feeding breed and ween should i keep this going until june?
was going to add red band to this feed would you?
saw the peregrine take a couple of swoops at my hens this morning and here is me out the back clapping and shouting every time it got near the batch
i reckon this bird is either young or a captive bred bird because it could not catch any of my hens
but it sure scared the sh*t out of them they landed in trees under my wife's car
two birds never even stopped and flew straight into the trap
i know the bird was doing the rounds up at alfs loft i reckon its the same bird
anybody else in lanarkshire seen this bird?
how can i let ybs out if that thing strikes my ybs will be gone for sure
my fellow club member bought birds from the kos stand at blackpool done really well with the one's he bought and when i seen his birds last year at blackpool they were in very good nick
sure his father in law sells birds as well but i cant remember his name
the fish could have been better wish i had steak pie
but the lager was cold so i had a few of them plus the company i was in donated 8 ybs to me so was well chuffed had a great laugh even with the comedian not turning up
got to say when you see how many trophys and records mr macaloney and son took on the night truly outstanding pigeon men
all in all i enjoyed my night plus i got a lift there and back free of charge ;D
guess it depends where they cross jimmy but Calais to Dover is north west of the race point is that not 20 odd miles wide at that point but it is the shortest crossing from france to the uk
stuart only you know if you have the tools for the job
dealing with media, pigeon fanciers that have never liked change
and would you be willing not to give your birds 100% as i reckon a lot of time will be needed
you never know till you give it a go
i also have met you twice and found you to be most helpful and friendly

i reported one the guy never called me back
you can report it to there website but i cant find the link sorry
i don't think anyone has a problem with your hobby falconry
but we need help to save our hobby from the over populated wild birds of prey is that wrong to try different things to to try and ward off attacks
sorry to hear you are unhappy chrisss i think it is good they have taken the trouble to join our site maybe we may learn something from these guys
parabuteo what is your thoughts on wild eagle owl's should they be captured and not be allowed there freedom in the uk?
the shu never went the right way either when ets was first used in scotland
listen in a few years time it will not bother anyone in england
dont get yourself to caught up on the ets argument just race your pigeons to the best of your ability
vincent cracking setup
coming into carluke just after the golf club e there used to be a loft on the right then one up a bit and accross the road used to pass it every day going to work
are these lofts still there
we all know how tough it is for your birds to break from the east coast but they raced the east route as ybs this year they will race the west route
so plenty of experience of both route's
but it will be a massive convoy hopefully the wind will be favourable then i reckon your yearlings might just do it
my yearlings will go to maidstone but as harky says everyone to there own
