Should add - This is one of his Sons.

Handles like a two year old as well

Very important - do not overcrowd them, you will just ask for problems.

Just thought i would share him with you. Bred is 1998 this is one of my top Busscheart Cocks. The picture shows him sitting his 5th Young Bird this year. He has bred us and others over 80 prizewinners. Some of these are listed below. 1st Section E 1st Section E and £548 YB Championship Race 4th Section E 10th Section E 4th NIPA Open 10th NIPA Open 26th NIPA Open Hen National 2nd Section E 5000 birds beat by .2 of a Yard 28th Section E, 154th NIPA Open 40th NIPA Open 86th NIPA Open 56th NIPA Open 21st Galway One Loft race 2009 Section Birdage is up to 6000 birds weekly and NIPA Open is up to 30000 birds weekly. Too many club prizes to list and the above is only some of the section and open prizes won with his sons / daughters. He bred a Section winner at 11 years old, not bad!

Lots of strays knocking about our area. SL

Have a hen the smae mate, Sparrowhawk. She has healed and will go this Sat. Will be well healed over in 3 weeks. SL

Picked one out 3 weeks ago, guess what - its missing from last Monday ;D ;D My dad always said dont put your eye on them, must be right. I will pick no more.

28 from 30. 2 latebreds awol

Cant understand it either. We do have some haze here with the east wind so maybe waiting for it to clear?? Otherwise I dont know.

Best of luck today from Tullamore hope you have a good race up there. Eamon

On the other thread mate. NIPA old bird programme.

We are basketing tomorrow as normal according to our Secretary who is on the committee. To Tomasd, the number you rang is the NIPA number but when the office is closed it rings in Heathers house. She may not know in all honesty but no excuse for being cheeky.

NIPA are racing this weekend from Tullamore. Eamon

Well done and keep it going. Just a thought, could the Unions (WHU, NIPA, SHU etc..) not be approached and get them to send some sort of flyer to every member clubs in their organisation letting all members know this is going on?

You will get this in Pied pigeons mostly. Doesnt mean anything. As long as it has two of them and they are both working.

I will be back Sat 2nd!!! Im on hols

John Millar is lifting for me on5th April?

24 degrees here, clear blue skies, plenty of sun - mind you im in the states ;D ;D ;D ;D

I get mine in N I on Thursday lunchtime. Well done Rasbull.

Happened to log on yesterday and see the Hen eating a woodcock. As for rings the RSPB will never release them because they know it will cause uproar due to the ammound they have found and the fact that racing pigeons are higher up the food chain than they are letting on. If you remember years back when the Pigeon Sport paper was in circulation rings were posted from nest sites in Ireland and there were thousands of them - some were mine and in fact i trawled through the lists that were published weekly and found 19 rings from our club. The RSPB will not let us have that information nowadays as it will not be good for their Propaganda campaign.

Number 1 - stunner. Look perfectly reared, best of luck this year. SL

Cracking looking Ybs mate. All the best with them this year.

We have an 06 cock that trembles every time he is in top condition. Nothing i would worry about.

Guys, as these birds didnt go here i have decided to try them elsewhere. I handled them last night and to be fair to the Ybs they need to go in the next few days so i have advertised them elsewhere. Anyone still interested can pm me and i will tell them where. Thanks for all the interest shown in these and off course all the great comments posted up. SL

Cheers cemetary
