and another wee hen , jumpy ...with a gap in her tail still 9 to come .

had another but still 8 adrift

Same race every year Derek 4th y/b race.Different racepoints tried and lib times, same results. That area round there is a Bermuda Triangle the birds just dont seem to get out of it.

was hoping this year would be better ........... it wasnt

i keep saying every year i will only send a token team to slotterburn but as the yb have been comming great i sent the lot apart from 15 injured birds that percys had hold of . All my birds that should haver been my first uns are awol again this year but somthing held them up yest as feds libed at bottom of hill 15 mins after us are timming 25 mins before first birds

had the very same thoughts , and for the same reasons Rob , just wish i had the power of hindsight eh :emoticon-0138-thinking:

makes you wonder if the weather was favourable ,or this wee batch had stuck together ,or wether some kind soul had looked after them ,then liberated nearer home ??

Think you are bang on Andy. I got one on Saturday from a couple of weeks ago and know of 4 more that made it to other guys from the same sort of time. I think the south winds at the weekend were a factor as well.
