Hi could anyone help me out with any old or recent pigeon rings they no longer need?

Do any of members of basics have spare unwanted rings. for my collection. i would pay postage.pm please

Has anyone got unwanted 09 rings left after late breds are out of the way?GB,SU WHU, NWHU IHU,I would be very gratful for them for my collection.

Hi all racing today we are 68mls off yarmouth there is still a 25 to 30 knts wind from west out here today!

No birds on rig this morning. Wind down a good bit here today. hope they all make it back. All though we are 70 mls from yarmouth .We are only 46mls to humber. So they stand a chance alright.

On rig tonight aswell as 4 others.one has yellow ring on they are trying to make it back west but weather still bad. see what happens sunday morning they might go if wind is down a force or two.

I have seen a few birds fly over rig this morning.Its blowing a gale from west out here.one has landed and is trying to fly west but keeps coming back.Its cracking blue hen yellow ring on ?

I am very sorry to here that. We have 3 sparrow hawks on rig at moment. last night when i was on shift i found feathers off 4 birds but no remains around rig.They were y/birds lost from sat race all nehu birds. i got one back to land on boat.but rest were very flighty and allways stayed up high.if they took to air gulls would drive them down.Then hawks arrive and picked em off. its bloody slaughter all right.

That *expletive removed*-rs allways turn up out here aug sept time they must migrate! Or follow small birds out as we have a lot of them as well.

Aye tommy a spoke to him last night .blue hen was let off at first light. a hope she made it back ok its a cracker o a day out here.Very sad about the four that was left lads told me there is 3 sparrahawks and they have been pickin them off today. I will soon see as iam on night shift

Thanks very much for that tommy.Do you know lad?
