Thanks Lewis, would have been happy just to get on the result, over the moon, and so are Bob and my Dad.

Dont think I've ever worked so hard to get birds set up for a race, had 10 birds either hawked or injured following attacks when training, and thats out of 18 that I had in loft at the time. Stopped training them because of this as mentally they had had enough. Sent them to last channel race, 35min behind winner at 340mls.Then some mite or something started to irritate them, asked some advice on here about Ivermectin drops, this was after dusting,spraying, and applying One Drop by Harkers without success.

As the date approached risked some tosses, adding in y/bs, lost 12 of them during this as thought there might less chance of the birds that were in training getting hit.

Plus the resident Sparrowhawk at home giving them a scare or two, and not to mention Brodie(4) had been firing windfall apples into the loft during the day whilst at work, bless him.

If this is what its going to be like down here, I will have to re-think my methods for next year.

I hope this might be of some help to anyone else who's had it rough this year to stick with it and at some point your luck must change.
