AGREE, I TOOK THIS WEEK OFF WORK TO TRAIN , BUT DECIDED TODAY WAS TOO HOT. RATHER THEY JUST FLY AROUND THE LOFT.

Anyone out there agree with me , and believe this current heat wave is partly to blame for so many young bird losses? :'(

ACCORDING TO BOOK CROSSGATES,

SITTING OUT THE GARDEN WITH MY LAPTOP, ANY IDEA OF WHO? AND WHAT TIME CLOCKY?

CHEERS LADS, HERE,S HOPING. I WILL POST ON THIS SITE IF I HEAR OF ANY BIRDS HOME.

Anybody care to hazard a guess as to whether or not birds will reach up here in Fife tonight. Aproximately 525 miles?

I,VE SENT 8 TO THE RACE. GOOD LUCK TO ALL TAKING PART, HOPE YOUR SECOND!!!!! :D :D :D

JUST DROPPED INTO MY LOFT TONIGHT, BELIEVE IT TO BE ANGUS FED PIGEON.

I can only give my opinion, but myself like the majority of my club mates did not send birds to the latest National, due to birds not in the ideal nest condition, due to the uncertaincy of whether or not getting over the chanel. and preparing birds for inland racig. This may have had some effect on the low birdage. Who knows!

Good luck, any questions you may have should be answered on this great forum. Have you any birds yet? if yes what kind and how many? ;D ;D ;D ;D

SHU STATE YOU MUST WINGSTAMP ALL YOUNG BIRDS, YET SNFC DON,T ALLOW IT, SO YOU HAVE TO REMOVE BEFORE ENTERING IN THE SNFC YOUNG BIRD NATIONAL CRAZY OR WHAT ??) ??) ??)

KEEP YOUR CHIN UP MATE, I,M SURE MORE WILL WORK THEIR WAY BACK OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, AND BE ALL THE BETTER FOR THE EXPERIENCE. GOOD LUCK.
