Shortcut Lofts

Looks like an Elimar pigeon (my ring from him is 11804) - ring Les Parkinson.

i was talking to John this morning. He suffered a mild heart attack and should be out in a weeks time. John being John will be back on the road in the next two weeks either himself or a friend will be driving for him. These should be at corn merchants or send address & Cheque for same to steve and im sure he will post you one down.

Guys, i recieved the latest glossy mag from Steve and i have to say it is top drawer. Priced at £2.95. It covers NIPA, Ulster Fed, EDC, INFC, South road Fed and many more. Steve has went out of his way to get this done and it contains open results so far along with pictures of the winners, young fanciers column, articles including Andre Roodhooft, adverts, distance flying sprint racing etc etc....This is what Ireland has been missing for a long time so well done Steve and keep it going. This is fantastic reading. Eamon

NIPA are in Rosscrea this Sat 124 miles to me and hopefully have 26 to send.

Would be interested to hear if these have won anything recently for anyone. Eamon

Birds started arriving at 7.44am (13) - within 20 mins of this they were all in but well flown & broke up, rest came in 2s, & 3s. Glad to get them this was the first toss this week.

Best of luck mate. I brought mine 40 miles this morning, libbed at 6.07am and so far nothing home. After i libbed i spotted the Peregrine not far away so hope the **** didnt hit them. They have 2 races over them so fingers crossed.

Welcome to both new members, hope you enjoy. arsenal - what a name, first class.

Have a good one guys. Eamon

Belter here today but we basket this evening so no training for us. Mabe fly the late team out.

Guys, i have approx 10 Ybs and 3 old birds for sale. With the exception of one cock they are all priced at £35 each. The older cock 2008 is priced at £60. These are outstanding bred pigeons and were bred for stock but will not be used as i dont want to be in the same position next year where i have too many. Ybs have approx 3 - 5 flights to go and are moulting perfectly. I am unable to get photos but i can assure you that i only send out quality birds and i offer a full refund if when you recieve them you are not happy with them send them back and i will return all money. As you have probably seen from previous sales they are all mostly Dark pieds and Tips, with occasional Blue Bar / Tip. You may PM me if you are interested in any of the above and i can select for you. Or if you are local to me come and pick your own. All birds are on view at my lofts and you can see parents if desired. Below are some of my stock birds that have bred these Ybs. Thanks for looking. Eamon

Sorted now.

It is a mild case of PMV. Do not take the water away this will dehydrate them more. You need to blow torch your floor and boxes every night to avoid cross infections. Vaccinate and give them electrolytes put on depuritive for 3 days and them change to beans peas and tares. It may take up to two weeks before it is completly gone. Eamon

Not near enough!!

Anyone know Gaz, i need him to phone me ASAP. I have a bird reported for him. EAMON 07772890664

Some birds are now being reported in Wales. I get my one from scotland back today thanks to the kindness of Stewart Mc Cartan in Annan. Lots of reports of birds in Dubln.

I would like to thank Stewart Mc Cartan from Annan Scotland for not only reporting a Yb lost on Saturday but also for driving out of his way to meet John Millar. Stewart would not hear of any petrol money being sent over or any other kind of reimbursment of his expences. A true gentleman of the sport. Thank you very much. Eamon

Had another reported yesterday in Annan Scotland. I said to my dad on Sat if the birds dont break out thats where they will end up.

14 missing from 40. 1 reported in Dublin. Had 16/40 on day and got 10 yesterday.
