greenlands Posted February 4, 2012 Report Posted February 4, 2012 Sorry you lads have had a bad race.There's one thing that comes to mind with a race like this, years ago when I was a Kid I can always remember the old timers who didn't like Averanche race for yearlings,they preferred Rennes although only 36 mile different(426 & 462)they said the yearlings flew better by having a run at the coast.Right or wrong I don't know.One of the best pigeons I ever bought was a red hen who won Rennes as a yearling back in 1969.

Ian McKay Posted February 4, 2012 Report Posted February 4, 2012 That's the norm for these small islands Alf
dal2 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Posted February 4, 2012 That's the norm for these small islands Alf Somethin not right Ian as it is every year? They had footage of libs with peregrine strikes I think?Could this happen at every race from the opposite island?
Ian McKay Posted February 4, 2012 Report Posted February 4, 2012 I can assure you if you visit any small island they keep very big teams because of the losses The hawk strikes were when they libbed fom a ship at sea If everyone could film there bird being liberated we might know more about our losses Just cause we don't see it we blame everyone or everything else I wish the technology was there for videoing all our birds on the way home or at least being able to track them

I am only gan on this thread cos I followed for the last two years, Wul and John have had it tough in a very tough race prog and all I am sayin is that it is VERY tough!!! Of course we get bad races everywhere and its nowt new! Things are bad enuff in Scotland racing wise and if ye needed tae keep 233 babies tae get 10.3% back frae 100km then it would be deed?? I admire the fanciers that take part for their confidence and bravery but its way too tough for me mate!!!! Why nae footage of libs this year or am I just missin it?
