just speaking to one of the olr on gran canaria they have a basket of arona birds between 15 and 20 reported to arona who say they don't want them and wont collect them some outfit that

at the 31 mile stage on land they were down to just over 2600 from 4000 birds registered

7 Scottish birds left but shocking returns , only 305 for the final when the intake was around 4000 with only around 40 unactivated birds removed other one loft races in the islands have far better returns every year , why ?

the rpra have federations in Scotland and are the governing body in northern Ireland is this not the same thing as the nwhu are doing going outside their boundaries

24-19 wales

wales up 17-16 now

Its present also in the soil and cryptococcosis is also seen in cats and occasionally dogs. It is the most common deep fungal disease in cats, usually leading to chronic infection of the nose and sinuses, and skin ulcers. Cats may develop a bump over the bridge of the nose from local tissue inflammation. It can be associated with FeLV infection in cats. Cryptococcosis is most common in dogs and cats but cattle, sheep, goats, horses, wild animals, and birds can also be infected. Soil, fowl manure, and pigeon droppings are among the sources of infection.It is extremely rare for humans to become infected unless there is a problem with the imuine system. copied from another post via fb

stonehaven to Orkney well over 120 miles both in section g Aberdeen to inverness 60 or 65 miles both section g section f sends gong by last years figures 73,18,35,8,53,8,13, some races only 2 sending

where did I say that I said they are only up to 18 miles and have lost over 600 birds already, the 18% was the birds they lost since the 1st trainer but if you include the original entry it is well over 20% im told they had 4000 registered birds in the loft after Saturdays race they have 3015 but between 80 and 100 unactivated birds were removed the race is in TENERIEIF

just been looking and they are only up to 18 miles and have lost over 600 birds more than 18% already :emoticon-0127-lipssealed:

yes I thought that myself

the next toss is from 15km on sunday don't know lib site yet the birds you saw im informed were a federation liberation in 2 batches

yep 1st trainer is on Thursday from 10km

2017 and 2016 a few of us had birds in the Algarve golden race but after them liberating the 2017 final in the afternoon when it was hottest obviously not thinking about the birds welfare over the fact that they had crowds waiting at the loft so they let them up , we had 6/12 in the final 2017 but only 1 made it back so we never sent there again the RPRA syndicate are called 4 NATIONS

we entered 24 last year had 15 for the final had 11 home 1 on the day and a 6 or 7 early next morning

RPRA olr entered 4 birds in a syndicate of 40 birds

I don't know that's what ive said if you could enlighten us that would be helpful I would think 99% of fanciers couldn't tell which ets rings were from shu and which from another source

my point is how do you know which rings were purchased through the shu ive had rings from friends , re used rings that were on birds ive bought I couldn't tell you which rings ive got on my birds were bought through unikon or the shu

you can be a rpra member and buy your ets rings through them, and you can race these birds in a snfc race under shu rules also if your a unikon club member you get cheaper rings through them any new system from unikon you used to get free rings along with it don't know if that still applies you don't have to get new ets rings assigned every time you change from a shu to a rpra race and vice versa

only my surprise that there could be anything like 500 or even 1000 late breds up in that area merry x mas to you roland :santa-dance:

1000 latebreds ?

leave life rings as they are as not everyone uses ets if your wanting tracking combine it with some ets rings that way the fancier has a choice what he wants to use

I didn't realise it was as bad as only 41% of players in the English premier league are from the uk bring back the 3 non uk player rule will give young home grown players a chance

they are up 3-2
