Well guys and girls, im lost for words this morning! and i must admit i did shed a tear last night and did not sleep! took ybs training last night, even shut the shop early as i was that keen to get them to the race this saturday, weather wasnt the best, and was just starting to rain, ( let them out wed night similiar conditions beat me home) was a bit black, had planned to take them 25 miles, but as i thought the weather was not really suitable, i kept them at the 18 mile point where they had been 3 times before. all i needed was 20 mins, so i realesed them at 18.30 no wind and not raining at present but dull. off they went got up hight straight away. were just going off. and BANG 2 perigrines hit into them dont think they got any?? pigeons all over the place, all 19 of them. waited down my lofts in complete dispair till 9.30 last night not a feather, and about an hour after i let them out, rain had really set in and was dark :-( went down there at 4.30 this morning before work. and not a thing. i really am devastated. have only just been telling people these the were the best ybs since i started racing 4 years ago, flying for upto 2 hours around home, and always beating me back. Now bang all gone. dont know what to do this moment in time :-(
