Well I think that is one hell of a question. When I put my birds down the road I reassure myself that I have covered everything, cos I know I have. At BBC Lamballe I said to the flyer next to me in the que, when ever I take mine for marking every body else's birds look better than mine. Tiz how I feel, in reality my bird and his finnished in top 60 his flew against the wind and mine was one of the longest flyers, so we both did well. I never have faith when I basket, but that is me, the birds do relatively well for me. I should be proud of what they have done, but I'm not one for boasting. I'm no national winner but my birds still have to fly 270 mile as young birds and 750 when old eneough. Give 'em a chance they might surprise you.
