Dave barrie

one home out of six, no, two now well off the pace, top vel in buckie 1800s, fast race, birds circled over ai motorway, split into 3 batches and headed straight north, sure they followed a1, davie.

jist ti say hello blue lad eh, canna be bad, i ken yir workin bit if yi see them drinkin on platform, chase theme cause salty water wi fresh kills em quick, keep up the good work, is my la adam barrie on your rig ???. davie

why are we reading these old posts, up north we have our own wayof dealing with these problems, like les says, deal with it ....

ps, reread your post , ration feed for a couple of days and they willsoon listen and come down for feed time, routine s everything, same time all the time , it works foxes.

well it can be tricky, the thing is from weaning we feed the same time every day so they know when to expect grub also you have to speak to them and rattle the tub, they soon get to know you are food, dinna feed too much peanuts, theylle get fat n wont fly far, we dont make a habit of catching oor young birds cause theres no need to with ets so its gointo be a nightmare for wing stampin, we give a light feed of charbohydrate before flyin and a protein feed for trapping,ie, main meal, hope it helps davie.

8 out of 10 to lee, first birds into buckie were doin 1600s,we were 8th club :ofirst 6 pos in club filled in 18 min, libbed fed at 8 o clock in slight s,westerly, birds cleared in one batch straight north,didnt circle, on way home, upa1 newcastle,berwick,edinburgh,perth, dundee, aberdeen ,huntly, keith, buckie, no rain on route but dark clouds coming from west towards evening, close and thundery coditions in some parts of the country, but no rain en route . davy. north o scot fed.

contacted davie, doo will be looked after untill arniston and liberated for home.

cheers ricky ill try phoning him.

cheers clockman, if theres nae response ill shu the bird, its rubbered and got bad wound on side under wing but is healing well, nice little hen so worth trying to get it home .

blue bar pied hen handed in to transporter injured but healing, couldnt realese at racepoint due to condition,presently in loft, could owner contact through p/basics.

thanks for the info lads, have spoke to west section and east section, they are all of the same opinion, fast race with good returns, all we need is the weather ??

cheers ritchie 1, lets hope it continues.

birds liberated at 10 00 o clock, s s/east wind, very slight, would welcome info on returns from north o scotland fed members ? davy convoyer.

very cold east wind in morayshire with fog on hills , glad our first race isnt until the 25th

phone r wilson 01542 870626 originally a keith registered ring no, hope it helps.

lost a b/bar on monday training, the rest homed one at a time well spaced out, also a d/ check last friday in the grden ripped open, its never been this bad before.

nae bather larry, you stick in there pal n i hope your fall wis like our autumn in the moray firth, nice n mild, bydand,,davy

well wattle, you have a lot of replies on here all good advice, treatin for everything under the sun, but jimmy told you straight, droppin to the vet, costs a pound but cheaper in the l;ong run, you say you kept birds thirty year, didnt you come accross this before?? anything from different lofts separate because they all have different imunities, ok.are the louella birds in same section, if yes treat for coccie, if not and spread thro,out then treat as flock, it wont be para as its a dead virus when injected so cant travel, also feed barley as it will firm them up , barley is underestimated and is great for getting birds right, hope this helps davy.

could this perhaps be a factor to trying to explain losses, they seem to have got a lot worse in the last couple of years, if people are doing things like this on or before basketing then it would expiain a lot.

snowin here in buckie tday but nae lyin, still bluddy freezin tho. :B
