Delboy Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 Went training ybs at Carnwath today and a fella let his birds up before me.They circled very low for ages and I thought, theres something about they dont like.Sure enough, percy came out of nowhere and splattered right into them.They went everywhere.Percy was hovvering above us for a while before disappearing. I decided to wait another 15 minutes before letting mine go.I waited until my birds were crowing in the baskets so I knew the skies were clear of BOP. Up they went, one circle and headed north and then, out of nowhere 2 peregrines bombed them from the top and one was underneath them.expletive remove, DISASTER, they went everywhere.I came home and was surprised that most were in but still 6 or 7 missing.CARNWATH, NO MORE FOR ME.FAMILY OF PERCY RESIDING THERE.
