WHAT IF our organisations get in touch with the RSPB letting them know of our plight and requesting from them locations where there's no peregrines in say a 5 mile radius so we can find safe locations where we can liberate. If they dont play ball we can take it that they dont give a toss about our pigeons or that peregrines inhabit nigh on every square mile of the UK. Anything negative from them would give us a bit of ammo to throw back at them and their subscribers.

A good opportunity for the conveyers to have a pow-wow and exchange mobile phone numbers.

The West Essex Fed were at Wetherby yesterday, libbed at 08:15. The West Essex race controller made contact with the Scottish Feds at Selby knowing there was a good few thousand there, he was told they'll not be going anywhere indicating a holdover was on the cards. You'll find the West Essex race controllers phone number in the Homing World (inside back page) if you would like to confirm this.

Doing 44mph out of Wetherby (North Rd)

Not a cloud in the sky, wind as light as a sparrows fart.

I think they dont give details of owner to protect them from stray catchers asking for silly money for the pigeons return. If you phone them up giving a loft number they'll pass the details onto you.

5 hens sent to Dunbar with the NRCC

As long as they're not going over at liberation it shouldn't be a problem, en-route they'll be at different heights. ps The Essex & Kent amal will be at Ripon with around 5000 pigeons.

Found this weather site pretty accurate for location/line of flight http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/HOME/

Blue skies overhead but a tad cooler morning than of late.

Ripon 191 miles with the Essex & Kent amal. Dunbar 326 miles with the NRCC

3/4 rations for a week should sort it.

Broken cloud with the odd short sharp shower.

Was 2 yearlings short on the day. 1 back this morning flown right out, instead of a x against him I'm going to give him a +, yeah he sodded up but showed a little something in his determination to get back home.
