  1. Melton Mowbray market have birds for pennies that these killers would love to rip part and eat alive... Yet if the taste is flavour,to one they didn't like, then this would put a stop to them pestering their pigeons.
  2. Taken this off the Alberta Classic site. .... It was a reply in a Hawk Debate. Quote: I tried a couple of years ago to learn more about these birds and perhaps get some but my search didn't lead to any concrete results. Reply: Our members were getting hit very hard by the hawks and falcons, so a couple three years ago I set up a seminar with the local raptor place, half a dozen members showed up for it, after it was over we all walked away understanding the predators hunting, nesting and migrating patterns, with this knowledge our race secretary put the following years race schedule together, since then we have had great race season, very few raptor hits, we shut down our race season from the middle of June till the middle of August, with very little road training in those months. A few members, (one's that thought they didn't need to learn about the raptors from the experts) have heavy losses through our down time because they insist on training . I think maybe this fall I should set up another seminar, a refresher course. I greatly suggest if you have a place that raises all kinds of raptors, see if you can arrange for them to come to your club house or go there and learn about our enemies of the sky. Yes I know, the members here have had many say the same. Indeed it does make sense.... Some advocated a 2- 3 year lay of altogether Yet every year we start earlier. ....

  10. Kilmarnock and Hamilton are now the only two SPL sides without a point this season after they fell to a 1-0 defeat to Motherwell at Rugby Park. Last season proved a season of struggle for Killie and their fortunes have yet to change ... I think they are just pulling the wool over the others eyes. Giving them a false sense of superority as it were, and both will come strong at seasons end to take the 1 - 2 places in the championship title and Cup winners and runners up... There Sapper mark my words! Don't know much about football Blumming cheek

  18. Fly-caster where you were being silly is the stupid suggestion, inuendo that I wouldn't / don't know the difference between a Kestel and a Sparrow hawk. So that is why, and yes you were being silly. Full stop. End off. As for the preference of having a choice, well again that goes without saying of course.

    I like country stores direct. Have had only great service and advice, and great prices. Car battery Charger is £60 cheaper. Is constant. - Don't know how much to run, but the one have of Country stores is about £6 a year. It is well worth the cost for peace of mind and the effects. I can have open hole and still nip out and not worry. Hawks.... well they don't stay long any road.
  20. To race it Now if you miss type a nmber in, then at club it is realised, are we saying that that ring is now useless. That a new one has to be used. Of course not. Seen them put right on the night! So can't see how it can be traced... What I'm saying they needn't even change the ring to race it.... just the memory.... Now I see where - sorry - how the NEW memory on the ring cold well be traced if able to be read. Because in order to race it the MASTER would have it stored. THE supposed owners name would show up. And again - sorry - obviously these can be read for the pigeon might well race in 2 -3 -5 different clubs / races. Sorry again. Sorry it can be altered, and YES it could be traced.
