Paul what time did you let them out,we were racing today and there were a lot of libs today going up north,hope they didnt tag onto them,always check if birds have been held over from the saturday before leaving them out.  especially a sunday.

i let them out at about 1.00pm,they bunched immeadiately circled once and struck off up the valley.12 returned about an hour ago but 4 are still missing.

they have been trained 40 miles in every direction,which is what i usually do.their coming great from training sessions.these losses are occuring off the loft.

[just ask me]

would sound like a bop to me with them being trained so well  :-/

Paul we liberated from Newbury at 9.15 this morning,clocking in at 10 45,so birds passing you at 10 am,that could be your answer,about 45 mins from newport.

they would have missed mine as i did not let them out untill 1.00pm.newbury birds had been home a couple of hours.

Paul it happend to me on Friday. I am still 6 short but got most of them back. Let them out at 11:40 and never saw them again. The have been coming back in drips and drabs yesterday but I never got any today but the guys on here think there is still some chance of more coming back. Hope this helps to feel better. I know I felt like crap on Friday, felt like I just wasted the pasted 6 months breeding and rearing 24 youngster for them to go and get themselves lost.

I've been accross to Milton Keynes, back via Oxford and Swindon before coming down the M4 corridor and have hit some heavy thundery showers. Thunder may have scattered them!
