Redcar is foggy - visibility is around 100 yards Lots of birds missing from the NEHU Clermont Queens cup race from yesterday, won't be helped to get home by the weather - rain not far away
Pleased to be of help Thank you for looking after it and getting it collected well done Mike - it is much appreciated Well done to N Feren for collecting so quickly
We've a few members on here from Newcastle - and a few who know plenty of fliers in Newcastle however - there is a club secretary in Gosforth and also a club in Gosforth - who can hopefully help J Plant - 0191 266 4967 is secretary of Gosforth Homing Society and N Feren is secretary of another club - but lives in Gosforth 07790 757497
It is a National Flying Club ring - so likely to be from anywhere from the middle of the country down over if you have any glucose - can you put some in the water - if not - some sugar would be fine whereabouts are you Mike? As there may be a member on here who could collect the bird
Newcastle West Progressive Federation Scotswood Homing Society Secretary is M Gapper tel: 0191 274 2407 the above should be able to tell you who the bird belongs to whereabouts are you Everitt ? You've no need to answer that - the code is for Blackpool ) And welcome to the forum
It was a nice day yesterday throughout the North East the West Durham lads had a race a day early - but its not so bad this morning so far - well done blue lad
can't find it But I have now LOL !! http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/topic/36410-just-in-wont-be-reporting-any-more-birds-after-this-bumf/page__hl__SHU%20RULE
we have separated the sexes before (young birds) and run them together on a Friday - mainly so the hens wouldn't be laying eggs - but can't say it made any difference to our results (yes - they were still cr*p LOL )
It is a trimethoprim/sulpha mix which usually treats cocci e-coli and paratyphoid however having googled it - it is not in the 'usual' proportions for pigeon preparations
A bit like me then LOL Its difficult to pinpoint the FUT rung birds, the only way is through the NEHU (I don't have a 2006 FUT result to look at - to try and help either)
I have reported it to them - as they are frequent visitors to the UK - if they don't want it back - I'll know its no good LOL !! It's a bit on the large side for me !!
