[Guest paulrstokes]

Old boy at our club 2 years ago there were no day birds from Thurso.

 

Next morning he looked out of his window at 5.15am to see his bird sitting outside the loft on the floor, as he was watching a FOX skulked out of the bushes grabbed the bird and dissapeared.

 

Couldn't make it up could you???

[Guest Gareth Rankin]

Wasted 5 mins because of the glare of the next door neighbours greenhouse. ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D

How many bad traps have fanciers had over the years that could have taken major honours.

Heard someone say that they prepared their birds for a 200ml race and they got brought back to  Kelso hehe

[steve d]

One of the chappies in our club didnt send last week because the next door neighbour put some new gnomes around her pool and the birds didnt have chance to get used to them as she didnt do it till Friday, we pissed ourselves down the club. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

i think youn are 100% wrong gareth, as i have witnessed it myself at a top pigeon loft, as a pigeon approaches a greenhouse it does get a fright as it sees it's shadow and is spooked.  Can you tell me a top national flyer that has got a greenhouse or a pond in front of his pigeon loft?
