had good friend donald mcdonald from dalmellington up at the doos today and just as he was about to head back to ayrshire a bird came over the top of the hill and hit the youngbird loft, yes another doo up from WETHERBY LANARKSHIRE FED, feathers badly bleached and rubber ring perished but again very happy to see it,it will be given another chance. ;) :)20/03

nice wee story jim about a good wee doo man.

noticed in this weeks bhw obituries page that old friend george cambell of moodiesburn had passed away,i had not seen george for years but he could fly the doos at all distances and had a great record at the nationals first scoring 10th open nantes 1934 as a boy,my first trip to blackpool was with george and as a young boy it was an eye opener as george knew all these great fanciers that i was reading about in the weeklies and gazette,georges good blue pied cock homed from rennes after 10pm and george had to pay the young lads a few quid to stop playing football as the bird would not land,he also had a good winning hen with only one leg which had been lost in the sliding door as a youngster, this did not stop the hen flying the national!!!!!! great memories of a great fancier george cambell. :) :)

;D ;D good yin.

henry mairs brother worked briefly with my dad many years ago and brought a pair of gift birds to give my father,a nice gesture,unfortunately both youngsters were not up to scratch,as for buying doos from this man,the apple does not fall far from the tree. ;) ;) :)no.
