magpie Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 Only reason I can see why the Tarbes International birds were held is because of storms well to the east of what would have been our birds flight line and therefore a hindrance to the Belgium, Dutch birds etc. Will they think of us tomorrow if, as forecast, a weather front comes in from the west.....no prizes for getting the answer right ! On the subject of internationals - will we ever learn the truth of what exactly happened with the theft of birds at the Barcelona race. Supposedly one basket of cocks was stolen while they were at the lib point - but I know of one fancier who was informed that his entry had been taken - and it was a hen. Also there are rumours that many birds clashed because of the way the transporters were aligned and a lot of dead ones were collected after the liberation. Hopefully there will be an inquiry into this disaster (apparently still only around 2,000 are back a week after 26,000-odd were released) and lessons can be learned or a lot of fanciers from GB will not bother again.
Bluedoo Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 i cant believe you boys have liberated from thurso. the weather up and down scotland is terrable, i wish you all the bestSaw kits of birds heading south at Stonehaven at about 10:30. Going at a good rate despite the weather, overcast & light rain all day. Thought it was safe enough to let my youngsters out as nobody would release up here today. Whoops.
Delboy Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 derbyshire north road fed up from thurso @ 6.40 Just travelled from the east of Scotland to Glasgow and the weather is terrible. Very bad decision to lib today imo, good luck lads, you ll need it

I WOULDN'T EVEN LET MY DOOS OUT THE LOFT FOR A BET TODAY. FRIGGIN EEJITS
Delboy Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 The best of the weather in Scotland is on the west coast and even thats not great.( check the Scottish Open ) thats the best of it
clockman Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 derbyshire north road fed up from thurso @ 6.40how did the race go
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 Be interested to see how the Saintes and Bergerace birds get on as well as our Tarbes birds are held due to thunderstorms The Saintes birds have been timed in thick and fast after 10hours 45minutes so it has been a great race for our Fed
clockman Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 still waiting for them how many miles?. good luck
JADE Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 got to agree with other posts how anyone could liberate at thurso today is beyond me. the weather on the east of scotland has been terrible all day. it may have been ok at thurso but no way could they have checked line of flight
Tony C Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 What I cant make out is our organization were the longest fliers out of there but went out last, sorta tells me their initial decision was to hold but???????????
