young birds

[billy wilson]

must say had a scare today with the young birds,let them out this morning at 9.50 it then started to close in from the east coast then they dissapeared first time they had left the area,11.55 i said to my partner go and get your dinner ile stay here and watch out he just got to top of garden when he turned round and said theres a batch coming from the north from newcastle sure enough they were ours when they dropped they were all absolutley shattered some were wobbling all over the place,after a few minutes they all seem to pull themselves together there are still 5 missing from 34 anyone must know what its like when they are missing that long.they must have gone into the fog up the east coast,but at least up til now we will have some to race another28 in the other shed to get going yet feel alot better now after most returned till the next time any body else had a scare this year with the youngins.

Yes we have, last tuesday evening a kit of about 100+ went through here and took all our YB's with them, never had any back for 2 hours then small batches of up to 7 a time started to return and after 3 hours all but 3 were home, 2 of them were our older ones and good prospects for the future so wasn't too worried about them but one had only been flying a few days and was off some birds I have brought in to try out so didnt give him much hope, to my surprise though he came diving in like a rocket after about  3 1/2 hours and boy had it scared him! he couldnt wait to get in the loft i tell you so maybe he might make the grade! Had one more very late on when almost dark and the last one came scaling in at 7-45 the next morning looking no worse for wear thank goodness. I always think when they make a mistake like that and put it right they are better birds for it so you might well have a team to play with there come the YB season Billy. Beware though! Sometimes they get addicted to doing it as have teams of mine in the past and will disapear with any batch for hours on end and come back knackered
