WDA Amal at newark 130 miles last club race -open race basketing tuesday for wed race lillers. sent 28 for saturdays race hope to send 10 to lillers.

if you are going to blackpool go to herbots stand and ask about paratyphoid vacine ,he will advise on the use of altabactine and sedocol befor inoculation and the use of probiotics and multivits after.DONT JUST JAB THEM.

sorry six and a half hours

well the fed timed on 7hrs after liberation from maidstone 270ish miles into co durham so we had a hard race as well as you scottish guys,managed to get 21 birds from 29 hope the rain holds off tommorrow to try and get more home.

give us a velocity please

pigeons going north going well 5miles east of consett [highest point in north east] flying low.1.05-10

weather here 5 miles east of consett =blue sky very few white clouds traveling east[west wind]sunny day warm in the garden moderate wind at ground level visability to the north perfect. good luck to you all.

where are the birds racing from?

tenerife one loft race is always good to watch during the winter months as they put a lot of videos on and birds not activated are for sale after training period if you fancy a flutter.

birds up at 9.30 in a moderate north west wind [270 miles to me] fingers crossed . next week last race from newark then open race from lillers lib wednesday we hope.

lots of blue sky hence the temp is only 9.5 but the sun is out so consett birds should get a good start. TERRY

All nehu rings when assigned to a bird are also assigned a loft number these loft numbers are on record at the nehu and are prefixed with UN FOR UPNORTH=WD FOR WEST DURHAM=DC FOR DURHAM COMBINE you get the idea, this loft number can be seen by club sec with the relivant club master and traced.

so george hope you learned from this -wats wrong with short training tosses and build on them .my first toss was top of the football field other siide of the loft,few here then next field over for a few -let them settle in the basket and dont be in a rush to toss them out -building blocks george make strong foundations.

well got 6 out of 6 tonight from midweek race 110 miles but saturday the WDA are at huntingdon 186 miles -hopeing for good weather

you dont have to pull the tail just adapt the system and they throw the tail themselves

saper where you lost 11 birds from

tried lights this year with mixed results -at the present time my young birds are on their last flight just thrown =hope they will have full wing for our national and open race from lilers end of season.

NO STRAYS IN THIS WEEKEND- so must conclude that the pigeons liberated at consett left the area for home -hope you all had good returns.

this was an off shore training toss and on the night over 500plus birds where seengoing up and down grand canary-wrong island -lots lost at that toss.

WDA AMAL up at 7.30 no wind on site at leicester south west on route GOOD LUCK

how many of your birds had wing stamps ,how many had telephone address rings on -and dont say u cant afford it ,i think it was clairs pets where i got 100 tel stickers for 8.50 ,these are stuck to my ets rings both wings are stamped three times each side -it works. and i can tell all the scottish fanciers that since they started useing consett as a release site that any strays in this area are given back to transport drivers on site ,but like all towns if your strays join the feral birds in our areas there is nothing we can do -,but there isnt as many people keeping pigeons as there was 5 years ago but lots more roofs to sit on. WHAT WE DO NEED IS-permission to transport strays back into areas with our race birds.the WDA will not allow any member to box a bird and put it on a transporter to be liberated nearer its home if we are going that way.that is why when i send birds back into scotland via scottish transporters i ask if they will accept the strays.todate this year i have sent 19 home this way reported one gb dead and found the owner of one su stray had bought it and lives in the north east and collected it from mr address. yours in sport TERRY

pigeons held

you dont realy expect a reply do you?

welcome

wiley keep your eyes open- homeing world adverts ,went with E Goodyear one year picked his bus up at hull ferry another yeay went with the irish lads great trip they picked me up at scotch corner services its a long travel when you drive and go through the tunnel.If you do go the corn exchange trip is good to go as there are loads of squeakers for sale there and the natural breeding station is usually visited [order befor if you want them and they will be ready or there may be none for sale] SO AS LONG AS YOU CAN GET A LIFT I AM SURE THERE WILL BE A TRIP FROM YOUR WAY YOU MAY HAVE TO TRAVEL TO A PICK UP POINT. YOUR NOT LIVING ON SHETLAND ARE YOU?LOL
