good goin mate, well done

R.I.P.

all sorted now thanks to susan aka redcheqhen.

looking for some help please, i have a doo reported in markse cleveland by a female non fancier, bird has been missing since our ripon race which was four months ago, if any fancier is close by i would appreciate any help until i can get something organized, than kyou davy.

thats good john and the fish supper was very good cheers davie.

yes walter but the losses are great, i agree with billy m,ithink a break for a couple of years with y/birds wouldnt be a bad thing, atbest davie

very well done to all who timed

good doo gary, well done.

nice one stu, well done lad.

ill wait for yir pm billy 99, maybe someday you will be oan my line o flight an we will meet up, ill look forward to seeing you .

thats the way it should be billy, maybe wre auld fashioned but i dinne think so.

ps, my own birds have open hole all year after racing, they are hand reared by us and have to learn the way of nature be it cats or bop, they soon learn and only the quicest of wit and watching and learning survive and personally thats the way i want it , if you lock them up for six month then theyre not fit and easy prey but hey each to their own . davie.

sorry billy but next year as having no chance at a transporter then ime afraid your bonny y/birds will have a sghock at a liberation and that will have an effect on your returns, unraced y/birds in my opionion no matter how hard trained by the fancier in the year of birth if not given at least one transporter release is sow off the dyke, imo.

thanks davie, i tried to peswiade you to keep on but to no availe, the fed will lose a good race controller, whose next i wonder?.

for one thing we want to stop moaning on about bop cause we all know they are there and it wont change a thing, i have been a driver/ convoyer for six year now and allways strive to liberate in the best conditions with my race controller allways considarating the best weather for line of flight, allways in different weather you get bad races, it is wires in headwinds or overfly in fasty winds depending on direction, whatever the reason for losses the public somtimes land up with our birds and when they do they care for them and are interestyd and want to know more about a racing pigeon because they are facinated by their ability to home to theire home loft, in my time i have met many people with stray birds that have cared for themn and they say to me, do you think the owner will do away with the bird because it didnt make home, this seems to be their idea of us , that should be changed.somtimes when i release the doos i think its more of a survival than a race when you see velocities, i would dearly like flyers to tell of losses and susvivers and be truthfull wth returns but as you know people arnt like that, in the last three year we have had bluddy bad racing with losses wether it be mobile phone masts or bluddy wind generatoras i dont know but we pay our fees every year so the shu should be doing something about it?sorry about the long pst but i just got in from the ripon run and most of my day on the way home is repatriating strays which i dont mind doing by the way.atbest davy.

good yin kev

thanks very much for getting the doo pete,if you pm me your phone no ill pass on the news to the lad n tell him to give you a phone, thanks again davy.

on behalf of a flyer not on the computer in our club,he has a y/bird reported in crewe and is hoping for a bit of help getting it up the road, the finders address is a mr scott 57 hendry st crewe cheshire cw1 4vh, contact no is 07703739361, owners no is 07789214552, any help even just to take bird away from the finder untill arrangements can be made will be greatly appreciated , thankyou.

any chance of some up here,might get a few cats as well as the bops eh gav

yes novice you are right, they change quick unfortunately race controllers have to make their decisions on the thursday for sat racing and ime afraid its not looking good for the whole w/end till tuesday going by the bbc, your fed is right going by the forecast however its not an easy task taking races forward for the good of the birds, you cant please everyone so i take my hat off to the controllers, its a thankless job ime afraid.

well done wullie, nice one

ps. if organized i could meet at kinross services on way home sat and get bird home.
