I don't know anything about falconry But I would imagine it is a 'fine art' the way they are kept and I doubt very much if they would be 'allowed' to kill wantonly - as they would then be self sufficient - and doubtless no use for the sport of falconry I enjoyed the programme - see it for what it was, like us a man who enjoyed being with his birds He probably has similar problems himself with feral falcons and the like

it wasn't too early for the UNC birds they were the late ones You must have missed the early ones

The races in the Up North Combine aren't like that We've got inland races (including combine races) in between each channel race It's very rare for a natural pigeon to win an inland race (up here)

Birds not liberated due to a band of fog Update at 9.30am

My club sent 398 10 more than last week

Redcar is sunny with very few clouds not much wind - supposedly South

UNC Rivenhall Groups 1, 4 & 6 up at 8.00am Groups 2, 3 & 5 up at 8.45am Looks like a 'no wind' situation variable en route

Joe - I've got 2 x 4'6" sections - and they really are quite small for racing (I would really advise against 4 foot sections) For a sick bay - if you have a garage or shed put a few spare boxes in there - or use a basket - you also need to think about where you are going to store the feed for the birds - I use dustbins bought from Wilkinsons - they hold 3 to 4 bags of corn - and they are stored in a shed - which also houses my sick bay

If the red in the the white/red saddleback is red cheq - then yes a chequer is possible

They've plans to put them all over the place Including just off the coast at Redcar http://www.edfenergy.com/about-us/energy-generation/renewable-generation/wind-turbines.shtml It mentions Tow Law in the article

You should have took her to the vet - chopping and changing the medication is not going to do her any good at all - you are not giving her a course of anything If you took her to a vet he would give you advice on what to give in the meantime - which might change once cultures and sensitivity tests are done I hope she is quarantined and away from the rest of your birds

Tell that to the red hen I've got - who has a bruise across the back of her neck and both wings - in a straight line - she has hit wires - don't know how she's done it - but it is possible she has only started flying again in the last 2 weeks, as she wasn't able to at all for a month

I see where you are coming from with a wire injury - as it looks really 'straight across' Whatever has done the damage - he has been extremely lucky to have survived

You soft southerners don't know what cold is

Lincolnshire coast - winds getting stronger 31mph Its come down from 26mph here to 23mph thats still very strong for a young bird race

Thats great Greg One of the racepoints for Tees Valley Fed is Pontefract Have you noticed if it is injured ?

A few North East of England races been liberated this morning NEHU Futurity race Liberated at 8.00am from Buckingham in a NW Wind Cleveland Bridge (Durham Combine)Breeder/buyer race liberated at Melton Mowbray at 7.30am Tindale Crescent (West Durham Amalgamation)£12 ring race Liberated at Wanstead Flats at 7.30am Winds NW turning North today - very windy in the North East Good Luck to all participating in the races

Whereabouts are you Greg? The ring was issued to Thornaby Homing Society (Tees Valley Federation) secretaries phone number is 01642 887421 If the bird is looking a bit sorry for itself - sugar in water (glucose if you have it) a bit of seed, pulses, grain, rice - crushed corn flakes - whatever you have to hand

They should be checked by whoever does the marking and basketing and rejected before they go in the baskets My club has been more vigilant this year I'm one of the putting all your eggs in one basket brigade and losses so far have been minimal

Motivating the youngsters for tomorrows futurity race - and then taking them for marking this afternoon

'You pay' - is what the company pay for 'freepost' I think this thread should go in the members only section
