Hi John.

 

Sad news that.I had the same last week with a toss 15 miles south west as the crow flys from roughly where you liberated your youngsters.

 

I tossed 28 and in three days got 7 home.DISASTER!!

 

I had 2 young strays on my roof near huntly yesterday and this just might be 2 of yours .

I will keep a look out for you mate .

 

All the best

i didnt put the birds up till 1pm plenty time for the thurso birds to clear, 19 worked back up too now so not as bad as 1st thought but bop tell tell signs there tear marks on back & punctures on crop!!!

[john cumming]

thats better john,

 

oh aye, believe me i was fearing the worst yesterday?? even considered calling it a day despite wining the old bird averages in the club!! so disheartening, better kind now

[JohnQuinn]

I think the time of day worked against you John, more and more i hear of bad tosses early afternoons, seems Percy is very busy when the day is at its warmest.

Hope some of the others turn up for you, the ones who are back will be difficult to lose now, so you have a silver lining

GOD!!That's sickening as well.

 

John.I have only had 7 from my 28 in total...22 darkie's and 6 naturals.21 gone .

 

Robbiedoo.The youngsters hanging around are very dark cheq's and one has a couple of white flights along with white clip rings ...Defo' from the same loft and as fresh as daisies but flighty as hell.

 

I will keep my eye on them as i am seeing the odd female sparrowhawk around now.

 

This year has again been disasterous for the babby's.

With the upmost respect,the dynamics of training and racing pigeons up here is a world apart from

the dynamics and situations encountered in worcester.

I am not saying harder but it is very different.

 

All the best
