we had a bird in the pouring rain at 3.04.. how did this hen come through the rain,, her whattles were blood red,, unbeliveable what they come through.. maxwell your was a galant 3rd home today,, yours was a laterbred bird and to come today was very good..

 

returns are a little mixed.. in our club - 9 from 20.... 0 from 5.. 7 from 9... 2 from 10... 4 from 10.. 3 from 10... I expect a few more will come through tonight when the rain stopps.. but should they have been liberated..

 

goodluck all

right then update,,-- now had 14 from 20.. all come soaking wet.. rained non stop from 10am ,, still raining now.. never seen birds so wet .. I think the west and far west had the short straw today,, the cock up was made early in the week,, we should have gone on friday for a race on sat.a fed from north wales went for a race on sat and had a cracking race... the futher west you go the slower the birds get.. glynneath 1244ypm... ystalyfera 1221ypm.. swansea 1210ypm.. and so on..

 

not looking good for next weekend,, lets hope for a nice september.. birds getting webbed feet..

 

hope you all get them
