Well done again Ryan, regardless of the members who sent. It turned out a great race yesterday, can't understand why they didn't send......the birds were bombing in!!! In saying that, did your club not have a race yesterday from Coldstream? perhaps they were keeping their birds for that.

Thanks a million to Old Owl for the four lovely German owls he gave my boys today. They are chuffed to bits Alb, Colin

My son's are looking to buy two pair of young German Owls. Are there any fanciers in the Central Scotland area that have any available in the next week or two? Please PM with your details. Much appreciated, Colin.

Does anyone know where I could buy a Unikon radio clock in the UK? Colin.

I believe their is a radio clock available that fits to the Club base station and does away with the manual master timer. Do you know where I could purchase one, preferably in the UK? I was told tonight that Unikon don't have any that it would have to be ordered from Germany. Any help would be much appreciated. Colin.

Nowt here......just not good enough.

Top class flying from a top class fancier. Must be the best in Central Scotland, flying in a very competitive Federation. Should go close to winning the National......well done!!!!

What a team!!!!! Well done guys......top flying.

Well done to both Jim's........clear winner!!!!

Sorry for the delay.......all ybs sold privately. Alb, Colin.

It's strange how some members can view them and others are getting an error. If anyone who can't view them is interested then pm me your email address and I'll send the pics to you. Colin.

Cheers

Surely okay now guys??

I can view them okay guys......can you still not see them? Perhaps one or two others could try them and let me know. Cheers, Colin.

As promised, here are pictures of some of the young birds for sale. You will see that they will be ready in a few days time. Priced to race £40 each. Sold on a first come first served basis. Thanks for looking. Colin.

Well done Andy.....great flying

I will post some pictures of the ybs when they are a bit older. Discount will be given when buying four or more......priced to race. Only for sale as I have satisfied my own yb team, plus I am reducing my numbers in the new loft. Alb, Colin.

Haven't heard if my own Fed (Scottish Central) are still going on the 20th. I don't think it would do any harm to put it back a week, just my opinion.

That's a very good decision.......forward thinking. Think more Feds should follow suit......1st weekend in May is early enough for most fanciers. It's certainly far too cold for road training and if the birds aren't fit from exercising at home then you are just throwing your birds away.

Well done Willie, what a fantastic result ^_^ Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Alb Colin

Tell me about it mate, there's not a day goes by where I don't think about him. I was actually looking through some pictures on my PC and found a lot of him and his birds. My boys loved going over at the weekends to see him and most times come away with a couple of ybs. I wonder what he'd say about my new race loft

I thought I'd share this picture of a cracking nest a pair of yearlings have built in the race loft. In all the years I've had pigeons I don't think I've seen a better nest. If my dad had continued to provide them with more twigs they would have kept building. As a matter of interest the hen pictured on the nest was bred by our very own Jumbo. What do you think?

It's only 30 x 8, but could have got at least another 12' on it.......aye right, the wife would love that.....not!!

Hi mate, it was Parkhall that built the loft......to my spec. I have to say they made a 1st class job of it, no complaints at all......well, perhaps one.....could have got another section on the far end
