Blue Chequer Pied Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 Not good Rab, I had one here morning and night for a couple of weeks earlier in the season. Took a few yb's and a couple of old hens and worst of all went for my first bird from a race one day. A total nightmare!
Kyleakin Lofts Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 Bad news Rab, but glad they worked back in. That is the way the percie hits me at the loft and chases in low.

Guest stb- Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 glad to see most have worked back, but can appreciate how it feels when hit at the home end too pal.its torture Andy when you see others with 20 and 30 missing with the same thing at home your wondering if you will get them back , i suppose they aswell getting used to it as its the norm at training and racing now im sad to say

billt Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 Had my youngsters out this morning, I let yearlings out with them to stop them ranging too far as I know from last year there is a Percy nest in range, after about an hour I saw Percy join them, mass exodus, only 13 young and 2 yearling cocks up, 30mins. later Bl. youngster zoomed in followed 10mins. later by a yearling cock then nothing for 90 mins. and I was shocked to see 12 come together which included 2 reds that have a torrid time here, got them in and was surprised that my 2 squeakers were there, only missing a dark youngster that I put up in a pic. of the hairy ones a while ago, Then at 5.15 in came my little darkie wings trailing like she'd done a couple of hundred miles, Oh happy day for a change

billt Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 very lucky Bill. Yes Andy, I've done the lottery tonight
Guest stb- Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 Yes Andy, I've done the lottery tonight yip your very lucky m8 , what i was surprised at was the shear strength of them lifting a bird and flying up and of with it flapping about for nearly a mile until it lost grip with one leg and the birds flapping made it go down , my sister in law was over last night and they used to race but gave up and told her what happend , she stays right on the hills at milton and said they regularly see the percy comming down to birds flying round home and just glides past grabs one and feks of and she says half the time they take the back bird and the rest fly on without even noticing expletive remove , i said you surew it not a sparr and she say no it flys of up into the hills with the birds flapping away
billt Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 Yes mate, they are amazingly powerful for their size, last year Percy family came for dinner, parents and two full grown young, had two of mine and passed them over to the youngsters who flew on as if they were carrying a feather
