wisna percie it was conditions at time of lib full overcast and drizzal light rain

[eric owenson]

peter i think the story is correct this time as my brother dennis witnessed

the attack from that liberation.

they are now running along so many of the valleys in the midlothian area its just luck that you dont get hit.

there are more about than you think.

sorry to be the prophet of doom,but thats the truth on that day of liberation.

[tyson]

Surely the best thing is to get the birds up together, same lib point, going into same area but different libs? It happens in other Feds as well

[tiger]

take them 2 heriot better point

[daviedoo22]

take them 2 heriot better point

Where is that place?, and what is wrong with Arniston?.

[eric owenson]

heriot 3-5 mls south of arniston,arniston has been ok for liberating but as we now know we have 2 adults and 1 youngster patrolling the area could be an isolated attack on the old bird liberation that was witnessed but rest assured they will be back ask any one who trains this way how are your returns everyday and thats just training,peregines are all over the lothians and borders.

more than you can imagine.

its an absolute nightmare.

[b.massey]

Yeah I can vouch for the amount of percies in area!! Terrible!! Also I stay off a7 route as there are many pairs on the road! Heriot to stow (10 miles??) and I know of 3 pairs!!!!

Our old bird race from Arniston turned out a strange one with returns spread out.Thing is,we are going to Arniston twice with YB's.

Peregrines are rippin our birds to pieces every day, whether it be racing or training.Nowhere safe now. Hope you get on better this week,good luck.

you can be hit from any point in scotland at every couple of miles any where and every where its you donald duck wrong place at wrong time , you could have libbed 5 mins lattwer or earlier in the old bird race and never had a strike thats the way it is now , cant blame convoyers for fekin percy strikes

There is not a problem at arniston there a problem over the whole uk and europe there more fekin common than bees nowadys , have not seen a bee in the garden this year on the flowers , usually 100,s of them but seen loads of percies in the sky every where .THE END IS NEIGH

as I said in previous reply your birds were liberated in not ideal conditions on saturday it was full overcast and drizzal rain when dundee liberated conditions were a lot better your pigeons probably didnt clear to well the result being low velocities I stay approx 2mls from arniston
