Cloudy with sunny spells,strong sww.Had young birds taken 38mls first thing but it took them 1hr-5mins.

Lovely morning here light s.w.wind and 16 degrees.Tommy R its nice to see your getting good weather,I used to visit the late Tot Douglas in Consett and good days were rare.atb.

As quoted in previous post it is best to keep to natural products like vinegar etc.but it is also handy to know what you may be up against.If you google Pantex it will give a brief health schedule for young pigeons that may be of some help.atb.

Cloudy,damp with a light south wind, 15 degrees looks like more rain on the way.

Tend to agree with above,I like to remove the old cocks at the end of the season and close their boxes,then put the new cocks in to select the empty boxes, after a couple of weeks the old cocks are returned and there is no fighting.

Raining since 10-00am.

Weather good here breezy south east wind 16 degrees, we didn't get the rain forcast through the night but heavy rain forcast this afternoon.

Another sunny day here, light south wind and warming up.but can see some dark clouds in the distance from the south.

Very overcast,breezy west wind,heavy rain over night but still warm.The cocks are making the most of the wind last race this weekend.

Yes could be right and as you said you got them in when you got back from training they may have been picking around the garden. I'm like kirky,feed later after trapping with seed.

Your right,noticed the wild birds on edge and the pigeons keep on the move.

Weather great here,very sunny with a southwest breeze 19 degrees already,looks like another cracker of a day.

What a brilliant morning,the sunlight woke me early so let the cocks out and they are loving it.Best part of the day for me.

Lovely day here 22 degrees already,going to be a warm one.

Good morning Sapper,been up early all birds done,took youngsters up the road all back.I'll have to have a kip in the garden or I'll be asleep when the game comes on.

Sorry Roland,don't seem to be able to reply by e-mail,but the answer is no.In the mid sixties I was still living in Liverpool but did follow amateur boxing.atb.

Cheltenham lib 9-30am se wind 105mls, 1hr-51 (1666ypm)

Weather perfect here,cloudless sky wind south easterly,young birds just returned after 1-25mins.Good luck to all.

Excellent,the more the merrier,hope some will put a few posts on.atb.

Get yourself a copy of OLD HANDS, The Strain Makers from Murray and Mills, £10-30p. really good book.atb.

Great here in Gt.Sankey,not a cloud in the sky and a very light wind,good luck everybody for the weekend.

Just two more races to go for me then the old bird races are over,with just competing in sprint races we have had 17 races so far(midweek included)and some of the widow hens are now showing to each other so I will need to give them a couple of 40 milers to keep them from being frisky.Most of the distance men will just be getting to the really good races so best of luck and hope the weather stays fine for you.

Very overcast here with light sww,was thinking about taking yb. for first toss but will have to see how it goes.

Still a good book for anyone trying widowhood,I was given mine by Dave Allen as a raffle prize when he was on a quiz panel up here years ago.Would recommend it to anyone.

Yes,I can still get it from Bryn in Wigan.atb.
