scottym7 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Thats a bit better. Let us know how it pans oot the morra. Well i got up at 5am and not a bird in site,cleaned lofts and put fresh food down in lofts at this point i normally sit and have a coffee when they are flying but due to being totally scunered i did not feel like it today, however when i was leaving for work at 6.30 i got a blue ck back so i let him in then locked up again then of to work, Elaine phoned me at the usual time 7.45 to ask if she had to do anything with the birds and she said their was 6 on the roof, this gave me much joy and i said open the hatch and leave it open, i could not get home from work today and by the time i got home i had them all home bar 5, thankfully i got two calls reporting birds and they shall be collected tomorrow from St Andrews & Valleyfield.Looks like i am still at the races lewis :emoticon-0123-party: Scotty M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they'd had tied in wi the mob from a morning toss they'd have worked in through the day and you wouldnae have had to worry aboot them through the night Glad your back in the game any way Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
