With the potential of a North East wind on Staurday, will members be seriously considering what they send?

Yes mate ,same weather down here and we will look closely at some of the birds when we basket them, we have a few smaller sized birds and might keep them back,also we only have yearlings to race this year so we might look again at not sending them all,but we have sent them all the last 3 weeks and had 100% returns up till now so don't think it is the time to be foolhardy

I will reduce my team especially after the disaster Ayrshire federation experienced last week with approximately 30% of the convoy still missing.

Quite amazing that Ayrshire fed had such a bad race from such a short distance especially at that time of the day as they had the skies to themselves with very little wind. Although the over crowding would not have done the pigeons any favours.

 

Wish you and the Ayrshire lads all the best for the forthcoming races.

Gareth over crowding ? in the baskets ?

Gareth over crowding ? in the baskets ?

 

I wouldn't really think overcrowding was an issue according to the reliable information I have.

I think the problem was more complex than that.

I had a NEHU stray arrive with my first pigeon (Blyth in Northumberland) and another NEHU stray arrive later in the evening. I also had an Almond Valley stray early Sunday morning.

One fancier has had a bird reported from this race on an oil platform.

Any conclusion I draw would be supposition.

Not a pretty morning in Lanarkshire, fancy we could be waiting til 12pm or maybe later for a lib. Anyone think different?

[Guest lenwadebob]

Broken cloud here in Norfolk, westerly wind, meant to be turning North as the day goes on. Hope they get our birds away early as ment to be rain later today and forecast for tomorrow is not looking good.
