JIM BENVIE COMES FROM LADYBANK IN FIFE

R&R ROME ANNAN 19.33 ON SNFC WEBSITE

WORD ON THE CB,S UP HERE IN FIFE SAYS A BIRD IN ANNAN 7.32pm

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.

FIFE FEDERATION AT MAIDSTONE FOR OUR OPEN RACE 369 MILES TO ME.

DEFINATELY YES. I LOST A GOOD HEN THAT HAD FLOWN THE CHANEL 500+MILES, FROM A 10MILE TOSS :'( :'( :'(
