  8. Dont get 2 many strike of the perigrine (plenty off sparrowhawk) but last night my son had his latebreds out, they are flying really well, no less than 40 mins morning and same in afternoon. so pretty fit!! they had been flying approx 25 mins, just come back from somewhere, Jordan and i were watching them rip round the sky, i was just saying mine will be flying like that soon, Then, christ, a little black dot hurtled out of the sky at them, happened so fast, But what happened next was strange, never seen it before. probably about 5/10 metres before it hit them, the pigeons all went into an accrobatic roll, didnt know racers could even do that!! they split up into groups of 3, the hawk had missed, (i think) but hadnt give up, the pigeons zig zaged around the perigrine, rolling near enough right by it, and the pigeons in there small groups, (he has 15) took it in turns for about 5 minutes, the percy did not know where to turn!!! they got higher and higher doing this, still in there groups of 3, never joining back up??? then went out of site for another 20 mins, then come back as a group, landed went in no problem, crowing etc, looking no worse for wear!! (think they get used to the sparrow hawks daily visit) so think this was a victory for the pigeons ;D ;D ;D Has anyone else seen anything similiar? hard to explain properly, you had to see it. It was as if the pigeons knew what they were doing?? And communicating with each other, :-/ And no im not drunk or wasnt at the time ;D ;D
  9. will take them all if i can fit them in my car mate, what are the dimensions mate any idea? But if any 1 else wants 1 or 2 i wont be greedy ;D But i do have plans for them :-)
  10. what junction is that mate? if you can hang on to them for 2/3 weeks then once i get birds going i take the birds down that way mate, just have no time at present, but once clocks go forward will be loads better, no probs if you want shut of them sooner mate.
