big blue bar

you have to remember the falcons are training their youngsters so there will be as much as 5 or 6 in the sky at one time . i watched with my own eyes one night last week . if our birds are on line of flight with these bops you will have birds missing or hurt . I ve lost 5 to date . couple of cheq pieds and three blues.. color means nothing i think it depends how high the birds are when the attack is happening if your birds can t get to ground quick enough its a gonner

took mine 20 miles yesterday i was two short,they were split up again .. one turned up today in the rain . so one short !! this is the most training my ybirds have ever had hope it pays off

in 2009 we missed the first couple of races and jumped our young birds into 125 miles the birds that came home did very well for us . if they have any homing instinct they will come no matter the distance ( within reason )

your better trying them in twos and threes , cause how many times do you get a big batch together in a race maybe the first two races never after that

thats one home near dark so 1 missing up to 40/41 . good toss dundee next toss

had our 4 th toss the night from 12 miles let them up in 4 groups ( just what was in the baskets ) 2 down out of 41 percy in them again thats the last two tosses they have been split up

3/ 4 now 2 came today one off them with half his tail out .soon have a loft full of injured birds thank f the old bird season is almost over . then the fun starts with y/birds .maybe not fun

got 1/4 last night at 813 nothing today yet

two pairs at st cyrus cliffs north off montrose think there is a pair at lunan arbroath

looking at the weather link . lib in the afternoon might not be that bad an idea clear this afternoon and tom morning

if they are going to lib they should wait till 1 or 2 so abodys birds have to sit out instead of just the north boys

i m about 20 miles north off arbrouth raining here

alot of blame game going on here !! some people are a bit p*****off with what has happened BUT there seems to be a race like this every year whether it a national race or a club raceing . i am a member of the snfc and accessed the weather before the race and luckly did nt send and feel sorry for the guys that lost good birds . What about all the men that got birds ? AND THE WINNER are they moaning ???
