johno Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 stb, on the other site, has stated from other pictures hes seen taken at 6.15am at the site that the weather appeared fine. its all about about individual perception. we took photos to back ourselves up as a similar situation happened last year. all we are all trying to do is give the pigeons a chance. when i get hold of the other pictures from 6.15am i will post them. hope all those waiting on birds get most back home.

go go Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 read posts 50,62,64 and 65 on another site by kev 43 some moving of the goalposts here i think,i for one have never stated that at the time of the glasgow lib that it wasn't right weather wise cos i wasn't interested because i was off site by 6.15 and on the road to kelso looking after the welfare of the north west birds.i'll have no more to say on the matter other than that when i phoned my convoyer at 6 am he said that it wasn't good and with the weather forecasters forecasting heavy rain moving north and with their own admission weren't sure of the speed of the weatherfront or the amount of rainfall i made the decision to move to kelso which also asks the question why did the unc basket saturday for sunday racing,reason i think( might be wrong )is that they thought the weather front was going to be in the north of england in the morning this front never came in as quick as they thought anyway i'll finish off and hope some of the birds make it home including my auld mans who flies with the almond valley who got 5/27 Martin, i will never queation anyhing you request on a sat morning i will always give you my honest opinion, and at 6.10am on sat morn my report was remembering we were at the top of a hill was low cloud cover with fog at the bottom of the hill as we could not see Otterburn village, some people have got to remember that us as pigeon fanciers can see p;ast our noses and look into the distance! you just have to look at some of the glasgow returns to see who got the best race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johno Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 martin all i am doing is guarding the actions of those who liberated at otterburn. while the returns are not as good as everyone would wish , the weather at liberation met all the criteria for liberation. the race controllers and convoyers should not be hung for doing their job. unfortunately all this debate does is discourage people to take on jobs for fear of being hammered for doing nothing wrong. i hope more doos turn up to those who are waiting on them.
