Don't like to talk too soon but there has not been as many sparrowhawks around my area as in previous years.

Smashing hen, can you tell us how its bred?

Think atmospherics had a bad effect on the race.

Ive heard of all that kinda thing but I would feel more confident if I gave them a bit of work around the loft JMO

keep it in mind for this year lol.

1st 3rd 6th 17th 28th region E at the SNFC Gold Cup over the past seven years its no as good a record as Jim Hannahs but i am happy way it but trying to keep it going is the hard part as you know. There is nowt fancy way my methods after the last preparation race I gee them aboot a week to do what they want then its work way the flag for about an hour each night then about 5 x 50minute tosses up to the sat before basketing and I try and get them sitting aboot 12 days as I think it is the safest condition that's aboot it Derek. Oh by the way I would like to gee them longer tosses but as you know the peregrine problem is usually at its height at that time of year so its dodgy as futt for us in this area to go further.

I will write that in my loft book in case I forget it.

Walter what is your pigeons preparation after they come back from the eight hours fly until they go into the basket for your target race?

Have you got doos in it Bill?

No seen it yet john r u thinking of buying in lol?

Great stuff billy.

For me it was the birth of my first grandson and my best pigeon memory in 2014 was seeing my Alencon gold cup timer hitting the loft funny how these National moments stick in your head.

Cracker.

Anybody used the chevita vaccine for paramyxo ?

Maybe a waste of money that year who knows? but every year is different.

How did you find that vaccine frank any probs with the doos after? was tempted to try it ?
