Derek, The burnt youngsters you had returning after their alleged misshap with low flying jets strikes me as odd !! I would have thought they would have been incinerated. JMO.

[/quote I agree but its probable most were fried, maybe these 2 were luckily just out of reach. I was told a jets trail can kill birds in the area the size of a football park so guess these were lucky.

no it doesnt look too bad Derek , but i like you had a bad toss 2 weeks before racing and lost 13 that day (1 back 4 weeks later in stray basket) so in effect with 4 taken off the loft we have lost 50 % of what we bred :emoticon-0127-lipssealed: which isnae so good .

I have been sending my yb's with South Lanarkshire as trainers this year

 

1st race Kelso i got 20/26

2nd race Kelso i got 23/26

 

After the 1st 2 races i thought something might have been wrong with them as they were looking great sh!t was A1 training well etc but after the guy i am training with got 80/80 the 1st week and 108/108 the 2nd race i was getting paranoid about mine so last sunday morning i handled every yb in the yb loft and as i did so i gave every 1 a 1/4 of a 500mg Flagyl tab at the same time but honestly never seen and sign of anything and on the monday & tuesday i gave them Adenosan on the feed and then back to normal feed and clean water the rest of the week

 

3rd race Alnwick the 20 i got home from the 1st race all went back again as i have been splitting my team all 20 are home but i have a younger team that have had 7 tosses and i put 6 of them away aswell but only got 4 of them home

 

3rd race i got 24/26

 

So i have lost 11 so far not too happy about it but hey that is pigeon racing for you

 

I'VE HAD 2 HOME FROM THE 2ND KELSO THIS WEEK 1 ON WEDNESDAY AND ANOTHER WAS SITTING WAITING TO GET IN THIS MORNING WHEN I WENT TO THE LOFT

 

SO THAT'S ME UP TO 25/26

Well, I think tomorrow and next week will be the deciding races for Lanarkshire to choose their route for next year.West has been very good it seems??? Mind ye, at 130 miles and birdage not even 2,000 birds isnt very good for the MIGHTY LANARKSHIRE.

Lets hope it stays good for the next two races but for me East is still best.

I agree Jim but only slightly.The clashing on the east is the problem but that is down to HUMAN ERROR.
