  1. just had the sparrowhawk go after my ybs lucky i was just coming out the hut it dived after a blue pied that went round the back of the loft when going behind the loft i could not see the hawk i think me shouting chased it but my blue pied was stuck upside down in a bush when i released it from the bush it looked stunned so i just picked it up put it in the loft hope it come's back tomorrow >
  2. the races we have had the birds have had a stiff race mostly strong westerly wind's they would have to face or last week in to a strong north west wind so rab i think the racing we have had will benefit our birds as yearlings but if i want to i could send to ripon unlike last year i had to stop because i had no birds left last year after scotch corner i had 12 birds ybs left out of 45 that i bred only got 7 back from scotch corner the other 5 only got to otterburn this year after tow law i have 28 birds left from 43 had 26 return from tow law so in my opinion the yb racing has been harder races but returns have been better than last year
  3. my club is going with the great yb racing we have been having there must be plenty birds left maybe a bit heavy in the moult for some people will the stray centre be open?

    Hawks

    eagle owl is our only hope to clear some route's of peregrine's why not some money from the blackpool show buy eagle owl's release them into the wild and hope they breed not doubt there's plenty tasty peregrines going about that could feed the owls or the last step is keep our birds locked up then the percy and sparrow hawk might starve or eat every small bird in britain the house sparrow which is on the red list of endangered species might just disappear over night
  5. try dave buttle on this site he might know someone near
  6. i lost my two birds as well tammy you said i would get my money back if they did not do the business for me when can i collect giro day is when again
  7. sorry to hear that we wonder why so many yb's lost i reckon thats why so many go the wrong way they may see a hawk attack in front of them and turn back
  8. I did not know that homer so the new base station will recognise the ets ring so there would be no need for a clock at a marking station is that correct
  9. the two things go together the clock can handle a few races but they would need to be marked at diffrent times

  18. this is a lanarshire fed matter so why not ask your delegate
  19. lanarkshire are at witton castle this week lets see how the race goes i have always found otterburn a good race point birds seem to have good returns
  20. Intervention came well after the point that the exchanges broke the forum's code of conduct, and the site was again being used to promote personal attacks on 'basics members on matters which were wholly internal to one organisation.. i think you were wrong bruno but your the moderator so i bow to your better judgement
  21. just to clear this up for people who dont know bruno the moderator of this forum locked a thread started by tammy asking budgie a question about lanarkshire fed race from scotch corner last year bruno said it was locked it was a private fed matter thats why i posted my reply here
  22. this is a north west fed matter that should be disscussed at the fed meeting!!!!!!!!
  23. hi shadow it came back!!!! went with a wagon this morning i have reported it to gail @whu i will not ask the person to send for it but if they want it the choice will be there's
  24. because people go to an agm and sit there and say nothing if there is a problem with a liberation site why do the shu/rpra still give these site's the ok 1: water point for the transporter 2:toilets for the convoyer/driver 3: is there room for a liberation hgv able to gain access then we can ask the convoyer if he waits that long did the birds clear the site if they never did other feds have the same problem
