theres a few on here with whites , im sure someone can help you :)

white squirrels and other small mammals that have no pigment are easy prey its natures way they stay the colour they was intended , i personaly wouldnt have whites as they glow like a beacon to hawks the light reflecting off them but each to there own :) not seen many whites on results  ;)

there are exceptions to the rule but i have been moving away from dilute grizzles the darker the better :)

i had a white hen lost around loft this year hawked :( yes the colour of a bird dosent disable a bird from reaching its potential , all im saying is i wouldnt want white birds as im plagued with a hawk and another B.O.P we saw at Kirkys if these werent such i problem i wouldnt mind the colour been white  :)

I can remember the late Jack Adams timed in a good white bird (From Pau) bred by the late Leslie Davidson Jack had said whites would never fly the channel Leslie was out to proove him wrong

To many myths in this sport that don`t stand up,we have just imported White`s into our lofts for experimental purposes,this very very inbreed true family have survived for well over 40 years(FORTY)in wide open no shelter,no trees, perigrine infested territory,when EVERYTHING else has been destroyed,we have already beat the ambushing Sparrowhawk,for sure it ,took a while,but those slaughteryard bloodbaths are long gone,and if we succedd with those whites,could mean the dawning of a new era :o

the late great jack Adams never  said that,if you remember the banter between the two of them,jack was always tryin to color up his Pau birds flights,Beetroot juice,ribina,cayeyye pepper jack tried the lot,and the point he tried to make,quite rightly,was the end of the white,mealy type birds flights faded and thinned out   as the season progressed.

What a load of crap,i`ve seen my great racer"ROCK" outstrip a peragrine,on the level,not a downrun mind,and turn him over that`s just coming in from nantes 300 mile. :P

fanciers who say hawks and falcons take white birds first know very little,about this problem.

Darren Mcfaden raced excellent hen think snow queen was her name, 3 times in result from Pau/Tarbes in LSECC.  But how many whites(pure) do you put through at marking on Friday night? I can't remember ever putting pure through :-/ so think very few entered to compete against all blues and cheqs.  Wish had pure white, will speak to Ben ;) ;D

i find it strange people saying whites are hawk bate when i had my birds out in the wilds just moved them the beginning of this season when i let them out lost one to sparrow hawkmost days i had all colours but a lot of blacks mrs sparrow hawk took any colour and i would say more blacks or dk cheqs than any other

may be Scottish sparrow hawks are not as fussy as English ones

the mind boggles  lol

cheers Alan
