I start mine at only a few miles , 3 as the crow flys and gradually increase to 25 miles and don’t go any further, it worked last season so doing exactly the same this year . Hope you get your young ones back 🤞

Started with 39 lost 3 so far

Plus three injured 2 wings so I would think they are finished 1 with a broken leg ,

Had 6 tosses 9 to 15 miles then 6 at about 22 miles for them

Will try to get as many as I can it this week at 22 miles then drop them back to 15 miles and get as many in as I can next week

 

Can't complain, I do think It's vital they roam well and are 100 per cent in good health prior to training , you can't stop the bop though

As I've said before our birds homing ability is getting affected badly wae something it's happening to to many all over the UK it's not the birds or the faciers faults it's gut wrenching went you try to build a team of young and this happens I just hope the ones that's waiting on doos that some manage to get through to yous and the very best of luck as wee need it the way things are going

I've always believed in the last few years that all these new masts windfarms etc are something to do with the birds homing ability being affected they all cause static electricity in the air and ground and affect the magnetic fields but everyone has their reasons but definitely something in it this didn't happen years ago you couldn't loss a lot of birds even racing never mind training wen there wasn't as much masts etc I suppose the reasons will go on but the losses will get worse I've no doubt about that

Now that's conundrum?

It opens up a whole new discussion.

Why does it only affect some?

Same feeding same loft? Some of the later bred ones got back?

Know this i won't be racing young birds

This season that's a Fact!! $wine !! **
