I have decided enough is enough as I can not read some of the articles due to the size of the text,old age is a bummer.

Always found two pads done me but only fly a small team.

Due to restrictions on imports due to brexit my friend from Belgium will not be able to put young birds into breeder buyers in England as he did last year so he posted me 4 rings to ring young birds off direct birds I have off him from previous years and he had to fill in declarations stating what was in jiffy envelope,14 days later I got them. Previous years I have brought his birds over when I was over there for spring exchange week end ,will miss that this year along with quite a few lads. Declaration will be made that these 4youngbirds are bred from direct imports

What is the water ? Could that be the Spey .

I am sure if we all raced birds in Belgium or the Netherlands we would be champions but to race birds into Scotland never ceases to amaze me ,when a 1000yard day is a good race for Scottish flyers and for us in the north east would consider it as a bad day possible clash. Them hills and valleys up there are something else . Nice to hear from you Dave ,all the best for 2021 , stay safe.

Excuse an ignorant English man —when the birds fly from Oban up to moray Firth what will be the height of the land -mountain ranges they are likely to be crossing ?

Hope you had a happy one.

Dumbarton still a long round trip ,good trainer for young birds,try a lot of breeder buyers to get them flown regularly so you can pick and chose your own races and know at least some of your birds will be racing every week,and bag a prize pot or two if your lucky. Best of luck ally.

Eggs just started to hatch—don’t have any stock this year as I lent them out but never have more than 3 to 4 pairs at stock so only breeding off my racers so 14 pair set away but 4 young hens decided not to lay and although they paired well and are going to nest still no signs of eggs. This year I have 5 fut rings from the NEHU, 3rings for Barnsley Breeder buyer ,3 pens paid for in Vale of Derwent breeder buyer- over £10,000 in this one,one £100 ring open to only my fed—only ten rings sold only one prize —£1000. One £100 ring only ten sold —open to West Durham Amal boundaries —one prize £1000 Will also be entering Cockfield breeder buyer - won it last two years clearing over £1200. Will see what else pops up. Maximum young birds kept will be 30,enough to get my enjoyment .

Milk crate

Amazing ken

Had a whisper that our old transporters have not got Euro six engines and won’t be allowed abroad? Could this be channel racing put on hold ,anyone heard anything?

I have been asked for info, Spring fair information Edition: 26th Spring Fair Date: 5, 6 and 7 March 2021 in Expo Houten Friday: 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM Saturday morning: 8.30 am - 12.30 pm Saturday afternoon: 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM Sunday: 9:00 am - 2:00 pm Entrance: € 13.00 per person per time frame Weekend card in name: € 30.00 Children up to 12 years free Tickets for sale online Available from February 2, 2021 Due to covid forward planning seems useless and have not had any info on any organised trips. Walkers seem to be providing their excellent service transporting from Belgium and the Netherlands and hoping brexit does not alter this ? I am planning to just order a few young birds myself as I like to try a few every year (with a bit of success in previous years ). Stay safe lads and hope you have a good Christmas and next year brings you some pleasant surprises ,from all at my house to all at your house all the best.

Thx guys.

Lads the weather was ok here right through to 3.15 when we had patchy rain ,rain at hq but none at mine . Weather ok with wind dropping to nothing then building up a breeze in my garden all day ,temp rising during day and was comfortable without a coat. Thought my birds were on fire—laid them off last week so got early start on training ,so had two catterick three bowburns and three 8mile hops with the birds really on form. Yesterday from Peterborough lib at 9.15 my 22 birds were on their way or were they ? They were clocked 24 mins behind club winner and six missing when I went to clocks one hour after clocking ——on return and during the afternoon I got four ,one minus some belly feathers so it hit the wires ,closing the loft at dusk I was still two adrift and none at ten next day but it is wet and drizzling . The race was approx 170 just over What I did notice was some of my birds had clarty feet been down for drink ,all returnees drank the drinker dry and some strays that came with mine and landed on house roof went straight to gutters before carrying on Club winner doing 1324ypm

If raptors are our problem and as we don’t race all the year round ,would it not be wise to ban any of our members from flying birds out during the closed season to starve the raptors as well as getting together in an effort to reduce feral pigeons in and around us .this would remove possible food source. This season seems to have been about young bird losses and it’s not over—could there be another reason why our young birds not just in England but Scotland and Wales cannot navigate home . My best returns were from early liberations ,could this be when most folk are still in bed and their mobile 5g phone is on charge,just a thought.

Not sure how to put video onto this site but have put it on face book under my name Terence Ovington.

Strays put on wagon along with a few other guys that brought strays. Your driver done well holding till blue sky appeared and the birds cleared well heading north in one batch,good luck lads . Got a video but not sure how to put on site but here is a few pics https://ibb.co/TYf1pPW https://ibb.co/Ct18h5V https://ibb.co/NZX7N5Q https://ibb.co/HP31Jbz https://ibb.co/4jwF1kh https://ibb.co/MPFznFQ https://ibb.co/S3yqkv1 https://ibb.co/7pKcQJq https://ibb.co/hWKzZdL Temp was 10 degrees
