blue lad

5 from 6 sent .Was word the losses were not good .

Can't fault the shipping forecast for 24 and 48hrs . Especially useful when racing up the east coast.

I find removing all nest box's yearly and you will probably find all the casings that have hatched on back wall . Pin moth balls in behind in net bags . Also fly tape sometimes works . They really are a pest to have in the loft !!

They are hungry most of the time . Up here kids from high school have chip suppers at dinner time and through most of the chips at them . However in holidays no chips . They will eat anything going . Young black birds starlings I've seen them take away . Wouldn't surprise me in least. Hungry gulls will swallow a whole fish a baby falcon would just be starter for them.

I thought so . Thanks for the quick reply john . Will be using them this year .

Question are the rings with lugs and chip rings .Are they already registered to ring or do they have to be assigned?

Ab20 1176 . Recent death in Fraserburgh .

Very fiddly phil !!. Some folks can do them on their own.

Very nice colours . A very unique one the chequered red ?

Forgot to add a X to that number . Thanks for pointing it out .

Hi I recently found a hawked pigeon . Ring number NWHU 1013 7103 Stock bird maybe? No other ring on .

Father calum son Michael both trimmed from Maidstone last year.They sure have birds that would fly for you flying hunder miles less than them .

Miller's up in wick had them a few years ago . I got a hen in 2012 from bluetooner . Bred from a bird that came into him as a youngster 1111 was year and ring number if my memory serves me? He turned out to be a very good bird for Stuart .

If it's decent weather out . I am outside whole time they are exercising . It pays to be vigilant

A well earned win Stuart . Twa or three Bacardis at the doo ?

Anyone know what the pad will register though . Wood metal combination ?

I am same plenty of time to loose them next year Have 9 youngsters gave one away . They will be out all winter .Raced this season with all hen team some late breds in with them . Lost 3late breds and 4 yearnings and older hens .Still have 4 late breds left to race next year .

A speed square is the tool to have gives you all your angles and rafters pitch squares. I never knew what a basic triangle could lead me too . I am no carpenter but wouldn't hesitate To tackle any project involving angles now .

Very true del low pressure plenty rain and winds to boot !

Perhaps a fast race on Sunday ? Flying south with a keen northerly wind . Hope you have a good race .

See on bbc website they liberated at 5am .From thurso .

Sure it's today? .Fine bright morning down east side .

Westerly or Southwest 3 to 5 for most areas in Scotland For the period 12pm today to 12pm Saturday.Lighter winds south of the border. Might be a stiff race for the first couple hundred miles . Is there birds at thurso for a race tomorrow ?

Weather is going to be as good as it gets up here over weekend.Hope you get a good race on Saturday .

Drop you a pm
