Thank you for going out of your way to pick up our yearling and looking after it for us for over a week - and meeting us in an easy place to find to collect today - miles away from your home :emoticon-0137-clapping: Hope your trainer is well on his way The South Shields stray arrived back at his loft (we put a note in his ring and we've had a phone call to say he's back home) Thank you once again Sue and Ged
So which is the greater performance - flying it alone or in a flock .................. the Fontenay race for the UNC - was sh*te so to get birds up into Scotland from that race point on the day (and I'm guessing it was 600 miles+)is a hell of an achievement regardless of the birdage
