Well done . Patience is a virtue

Just wondering about the NRCC . & Ayr north fed ?

Aye will do Robbie . A got Robert round he couldn't find it either?

Help what did I do ? Timed bird at 10:44 it regested it was in . However I scrolled down the clock to see the next arrival only to discover no record of first bird. I got to pooled birds and del to come out of it ?I scanned the next birds by hand only to discover the cable was not tight. And no record of the first bird ? I am no good with technology!!

Is it thief pouters yer flying ?

Sharp sand and a bit of garden lime . Blows no where droppings dry in no time . Just sift it when ever you want and dry droppings go's in the borders.Each to their own

Bob seen one over the town this morning with flights missing on one wing ? Could be same aine ?

Had aine strike my hens in afternoon .Just sitting having my tea looking out window when a shower of feathers came down from heavens third one in three weeks came back with holes low in the keel !!! The sparrow hen is surely not on the nest yet ?

Gammies getting blame for protecting grouse and the like !! That's the big organization introducing to many raptors and upsetting nature again .

Metal detector find in Leeds .

Was into jewsons this afternoon. They stock velux Windows but think one's I seen were under 3ft .

Aye if anyone gets a blue pied Su 08 8085 give me a shout please .

Had same yesterday morning phil .Only cock I had not flying out 7yr old zoom gone !! Feeding a 18 day old young een tae .Hen is still feeding it up to now .Sorry to hear you had the same .Aye it's rite annoying !!! Will never have another prisoner again period!!!

Birdtrader always have them nae ower dear either.Guy I know who used to fly one over old railway tracks .When it was in the air no other bird was seen .very Effective I'd say

Might use smaller mesh .See what you mean .

Bloody bad New Lindsay .Just over week ago I got hit by one .result one missing and two holed and still trembling yet. The gulls &crows were no where in sight that morning Just hope they come back home .It' sickening watching them attack the birds !!!!

Found the problem !! It's hanging on the wire front of the fly screen .Going to change it for dowels. Have to get kettle on to steam them back into shape.

The end of November they were near all through the moult ?

Last year after vaccination I had one young bird with twisted flights .As a result I could not race it .This year same again with another of last year bred although over the winter there was no sign of this ?.The first bird went through the moult fine .I am stumped any theories as to why this has happened?

Been out all winter although they are stopping in more now due to sitting on eggs .Dont want love stuck birds on the roof !!One thing iv noticed is they are very sharp on the move if sparrow hawk is any where near.They read the signs of wild birds. It's got to be good for them

Never heard about it Stan .But wish I was going too. You buying in New stock ? Going on any loft visits?

Na the gulf stream has been tracking from due west to wsw for the last month.Bringing a conveyor belt of low pressure weather systems our way every few days . Thankfully were getting off with it most of the time in far north .As usually we get our fair share of it .

Many thanks chief I like that one on your picture. .It was a black hen but It came back today but not in to loft .Tell you the one I have trys it's best to keep up with hens but it can't do it half hour and its back in loft .suppose if I had a team of them would they fly better ?
