Weather is not looking too clever, foggy here all day lifted just before dark, and forecast is same Saturday & Sunday.

 

Got caught out with haar off Forth not far from you when training from the 'pans one evening during OB racing; 2 worked through it no bother, other 3 lay out overnight, and came back OK next morning.

 

You've plenty high buildings around so they will perch up no bother and come back when weather clears.

You might not get them all back some could get injured.

Sorry for your loss Gary,my mate done the same with his young birds two or three years ago,I think he ended up loosing 17.You should stand a better chance with old birds .Good luck for the morning hope they are all waiting for you.

[Guest joshdonlan]

good luck mate, let us know how you get on

[Guest lenwadebob]

Gutted for you Gary, but they will be back once the fog clears in the morning. Hope the weather is good to them tomorrow.

[bibendium]

they will turn up tomorrow hopefully

 

[JADE]

sounds like something has spooked them. if they hadnt been fed they would be back at feeding time mist or no mist. hope you get them 2moro

[catchthepigeon]

its a bit late in the day to be letting birds out you should really be calling them in at that time did you feed them before they got out have a wee drive round your area im sure they will all be on the roof tops round about you

same thing happened to me today,14 returned late as it was getting late still got 14 missing.

[paul10121968]

im sure they will all return tommorow,look on it as a good inclement weather training session.beleive it or not they will learn from this.a night out on the tiles is a good thing and prepares them for the longer hard races.i have trained mine in the rainy misty conditions on purpose to force them to work and come through it.what they encounter on their way home from a race they will be better prepared for.

[Guest stb-]

my birds on open bowl all the time, they been out in the fog last few days .

 

they dissapear into the fog about 50yds from loft then you see them again when they go over head.

 

I have had this before when they were not used to it but they all came back.

 

you should get them back ok m8 just got to watch out for injuries when out in the mist
