IF! any of the birds met up peter i don't think it would have caused 50% losses in the forth and clyde peter considering the bulk of the lofts in this fed are 4/5 miles at most west of my loft also the north west are doing 1734 ypm whereas the forth and clyde correct me if i'm wrong are only doing 1400 odd ypm so i don't think our birds met up at all
9.20 ian leading birds were home 20 mins after fife liberated doing well over 1400 ypm i think the fife birds travelled northwest trying to get over the forth which as fifer says was fogged over hence the reason for coming out of the stirling area
naw john gate was locked when the transporter arrived which meant sitting in coldstream all night with no water on the birds decided on kelso which was accessible so the birds got water
