Guest Gareth Rankin Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 Now up to 13/22 Lanarkshire should never have been at Wakefield,the poor returns are not down to peregrines.It is all down to the fact that there was no race last week and then the jump to Wakefield.It should have been Ripon today another poor decision. :( Dont agree as south in the wind they should have tumbled in, and with the first pigeons in the fed doing more than 50mph.
andy Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 Selby with PENTLAND FED from 0630 Lib Timed at 0945 (3) 173 miles velocity 1552 doing 53mph. 40/43 home.

Guest Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 Dont agree as south in the wind they should have tumbled in, and with the first pigeons in the fed doing more than 50mph. How many inexperienced yearlings,that have never been beyond 100 miles and only been to 87 miles this year have you to come then.Ripon would have been a better option for them especially on the basis there was no race last week.Then the jump to Leicester would not have been so sore as they would have had a race the week before.
ALF Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 17 out of 36 now been at the loft from 9 this morning hope i see some more getting home

Guest Greig the doo Drysdale Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 5 out of 7 from Newark lib 0630 timed at 11.42 not even close so a dissapointing race but there is always next week
andy Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 Selby with PENTLAND FED from 0630 Lib Timed at 0945 (3) 173 miles velocity 1552 doing 53mph. 40/43 home. Now 41/43. injured with a hawk talon in side, no flights missing though Looks like it will miss next weeks race.
Guest pigeonboyno1 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 i am still waiting on 7 but our clocks check is not until 17.00 Hope u get all your pigeons back and the same to every one in the fed.
frank-123 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 Hope u get all your pigeons back and the same to every one in the fed. cheers mate i hope some more make it home

Guest bigda Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 i think the winner is in viewpark 10 .35 10.37.10.40 think they are not far of the fed first three :-/
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 dont think it was just the hawks bart causing the ERATIC RACE to many feds liberating at roughly the same time within a small radius this causing a lot of clashing just hope they learn from it. you have to check out where all the other feds are liberatinng from and at what time to try and avoid clashing as much as possible, not just the weather that has to be checked, Jim Hannah was an expert at checking out where all the other feds were and tried to work out where they would be at a time compared to Lanarkshire, that was one reason he had a lot of later liberation times, hope all the birds work home

hotrod Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 85 mile jump in a tail wind should have posed no problems, if we had done what you wanted we would have been jumping from Ripon to Leicester 100 mile jump in what might have been a head wind after getting a tail wind the week before and flying only 3 hours. sorry vincent ive got to agree with gareth here.an 85 mile jump should not be a problem especially in a blow home .i put my good silver hen out today for her first race of the season (250) miles ,4th bird to loft ,no problem with 250 mile jump ,i have 11/20 from newark after a 7:45 lib
dava Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 jim every body is entitled to there opinion and thats mineall the feds that were at selby and newark were up at 06.30 so they wouldnt have been that far of us when we got up plus there were several feds going south going into wales and southern england which are hard to avoid but as gareth said all the experainced birds are home so probablythe jump has something to do with it who knows but it was very eratic my own returns are up to 27/36 so there still struggling through cheers davie
