At end up 22/31 20 sunday 1 Monday 1 Tuesday mostly yearlings down which didn't get any help from last years y/bird progam as weather was dire and they had 3 kelsos and a terrible Catterick but we have to take what is on offer, a weeks rest and see how the feathering is for kettering. young birds are falling apart just now throwing flights for fun .

[JohnQuinn]

Had another waiting on me when I got in from work last night. My wee mam said she arrived about 9am but wouldn’t go in for her. 10/11 now.

Bonus Red Ch hen also waiting that I dropped tossing for the race on Sat morning.

You must be gutted Walter and I feel for you and hope they work in for you .

I am still 11/25 home have one coming up the road ? And one dead but my next great hope is gone along with some really nice yearlings plus 2 that have been across the channel plus my gold cup candidate so feel your pain on a lesser scale .

What happened bop is most likely but why are they not getting up again .

Walter there was a fed up at 6am from Crieff going south and we were up at 6am going north they had to meet somewhere on the road, air, and bop every 2 miles, worse than the allamo

[avante]

That's a painful loss guys, birds of that calibre and potential candidates as well, so its not all our bad ones that get lost, wishing they turn in for youse and me, it is starting to put me off keeping them as we cant get them to a mature age for the longer races and when we do get them to 2,3,4, they have been through the mill and lost confidence for racing in my opinion ,ive put a few down over the years as they wont leave the basket or just plod home.

No chance did they meet expletive remove the ones coming south would have been at a different height

They were the only birds in the sky so took the brunt off every strike all the way home.a had 1 on Monday an had to lift it to the drinker was totally flown out so gives you an idea what the ones are like .my opinion most off them you will never see again as they get weaker they'd an easier catch all these great birds that have not made it Percy don't care what she eats you've only got to look at the experiment the boy on here put trackers on 2 off his birds from workshop 1 was struck 4 times an the other 3 times sadly they won't be seen again.

[gulkie]

Can you point me in the direction of the post re the tracker. I'd be interested in seeing it.

6 from 10 here, Worksop on Monday. Only doos in the Sky would have had a hand in it I'd imagine. Another sore one.

Also read Fairways post Training trackers 10/6/20 about previous training flights of his pigeons using the tracker rings. It's eye opening.
