Guest IB Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 so its not true yous fancers cant train doos for the bop i always said west is best but am not traning thare to take my doos of thare line of flyet from the east whare lanarkshire fed have been brain washed to go B O P every whare mate Don't think anyone is suggesting that hawks aren't everywhere, but what seems beyond dispute is that the largest concentrations of peregrines are in the west, on the M74/M6 corridor, extending through Wales and into West of England. Wasn't that long ago North West Fed was down that way and got humped, so much so we abandoned the west route and reverted east during the OB season. Thankfully YBs never got a taste of that, or should I say, they never got a taste of our YBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter swanston Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 If you live in Northern Dumfrieshire and you want to aspire to be a pigeon fancier birds of prey are a fact of life and we have no alternative but to use the M74 corridor for training.I think the same might apply to South Lanarkshire and no amount of comments will shange that fact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
