Disaster Strikes!

[Guest Cornish-Jon91]

Morning all.. Bad luck hit me last nightLet my 26 young birds, 4 hawks surrounded them and pushed them towards the coast, this morning i have 3 back! Makes you wonder what is the point? Being a student and after just buying ets and a new loft i cant just go and replace these birds.. May aswell just call it a day? Jon.

Serious problems now Jon with Peregrines,before long there will be no wild birds left and a big reduction in pigeon fanciers.I can't see it getting any better,once the small birds have gone there's only one other option for BOP.

Really sorry you have lost your young birds,I hope more will return as the day goes on.

Best wishes mate.

disaster often strikes . to every problem there is some solution, at times we have to bite the bullet and carry on . i am sure some will return as days pass ,have had a disaster too in the past ,and after first thinking my season was over ,i was encouraged to continue racing .was laughed at by club members who were sending 40 + youngsters every week ,and i carried on sending my 2 hens to the last 5 yb races .... guess who won the yb average that year ?? heres a clue ,it wasnt those club members who were sending 40+ .

Hi Jon, stick in there m8, the problem in Cornwall is very serious now, about time the RPRA did something positive

instead of expecting us all to except it, use some of the Blackpool money to get the law altered , and take off the

protection the these murderous POP have, otherwise there will be no pigeon racing in the furture, and no Blackpool.

I hope more of your y/b's will return in the next few days but do not think of packing in,Good Luck to you

Hope they work back. YBs are very resilient, I've a few been AWOL for 2/3 days & come back unscathed.

Keep the faith Jon, they will turn up

Sorry to hear this John, as said before, hang in there m8, hopefully more will turn up in the next few days. Keep us informed of any progress.

Thanks for all the kind messages from you all! Realy has encouraged me today! Have had 4 more back but have had to get rid of 2 die to bad broken legs. A fellow club mate has given me 4 second rounders plus my 5 i am now up to 9. Cheers all.
