REDCHEQHEN Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 NEHU FOLKESTONE MAY 9TH 2009 (Weather permitting LOL !) I thought that I would bring this to your attention in case you wanted to go - I think it was T_T that took some great photos last year when 45,000 birds were liberated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDCHEQHEN Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Is it a UNC / NEHU lib with similar birdage expected cos yes I do want to go Its all the NEHU members, the UNC, WDA, Durham Combine and New North Amal in 2007 there were 33,000 birds, and 45,000 in 2008 - so I would expect it to be somewhere in between the 2 (sorry about the late reply) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeonman007 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Thats only about 40ish miles from me, might well go and have a look (armed with camera). My other half & kids will enjoy a day in Folkestone i'm sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LBuddle Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I will be there to watch the lib as Folkestone is only 9miles from me in Dover and its 10min along the M20. Its always a nice sight to see that many birds at a liberation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
