Morning all

Dull,damp and cold here,got some really heavy rain through the early hours of this morning.

Good morning everyone.

Same here this morning.

A mate of mine has pylons a few hundred yards from his loft and loses a few y/birds each season to them.We watched his youngsters flying around his lofts and they appeared to be drawn towards them,when they got near the pylons they were confused and split up some tried to fly through them and dropped like stones killing about a dozen,the rest just circled for a while before returning to the loft and weren't spooked in any way.His lofts are on farm land and the pylons are easily visable to the birds,he doesn't get this problem with old birds.

Happy Birthday :emoticon-0167-beer: :emoticon-0167-beer:

Sorry to hear you can't make it FIFER,it was nice to meet you and others off Basics last year.Unsure if I'll be there myself but if I make Blackpool I'll be at the meet-up.atb.

Morning everyone.

Sunny intervals but cold and damp.

I don't like to knock Davy Moyes because over the years at Everton he did a good job with what he had but I was suprised Utd gave him the job.Ferguson's recommendation got him there and imo that was so he could still have some influence on the club.Utd pride themselves on being one of the worlds top club so why not hire a top manager,I couldn't see a top boss working with Sir Alex on his shoulder.Bob Paisley had the great Bill Shankley moved on when he took charge and went on to be a great himself.

Happy Birthday

Morning everyone.

Bright start but cold and damp.

Great news Walter

Happy birthday
