Returns poor racing from north to south west (see thread on British Barcelona Club from Ingleton). Guess it was ok if they had even a bit of help from the wind which was very strong westerly here yesterday. The 1.15 liberation meant the slower birds just didn't have enough flying time to make it before dark and torrential rain and poor visibility this morning has probably shut out most of the absentees. We are still waiting on experienced birds that have flown Palamos and Pau. Could it be they don't like being turned round!

Some pigeons will trurn, of course they will, but I don't believe that you can just swing pigeons here & there like some people have tried this season without severe problems. Once educated young then it's no bother but old pigeons are a different story

 

Sent 5 and 7 in 2 races yesterday - all home.

[speedbird]

all 28 home 210miles few gaps as it never stopped raining by us all day!! feared the worse

[Guest]

Sunday 5,45 am we're still 2 out from 30

[David Swain]

Mike,

So what's the answer if you live near the south coast, keep them all at home on the off chance that we will be able to fly from France this season - what if DEFRA never let us go across the channel again - worst case scenario it could happen, although of course we're keeping our fingers crossed for some good news later this week. Incidentally our young birds are all trained north to begin with because we can't get any distance from the south (unless we can find someone to take them out in a boat!) and nearly all our old birds are also trained north before racing south for the same reason.

RACE FROM OTTERBURN SUNDAY 0715 LIB, 10 OUT OF 10, BUT JUST CAN'T GET THAT 10MINS TO GET ON THE SHEET, BUT PLENTY TIME YET.

[David Swain]

Peter,

Sounds as though the rain on the line of flight, combined with the strong wind and the late liberation probably accounted for the poor race down here. Still no sign of the five well-raced birds we are missing from eight sent, but after continuous rain until mid-afternoon, the sun has come out at last so hopefully they are close enough to make it back before dark  

[JAS]
