canny be any doos left vinnie , i have very few myself thats not been nailed with percie over last 5 or 6 weeks including the birds thats flown well every one ended up ripped up so if thats anything to go by the guys further west will prob be worse off aswell , the ones comming back are the lucky ones

Overall birdage is 150 down on last year and 256 down fae 2011, could be a pattern forming here!! Getting harder every year tae get enough doos about ye tae have a go at the all the races so i canny see the trend changing any time soon. jmo.

John just looking through my book , i have had 23 birds home this year with various signs of percie attaks holes in back wing out tail and rump out torn down back of neck etc including every bird thats won this year , have had a few years worse in the past but its getting to often now .

Imo guys are moving more away from distance racing

Yes a disappointing entry except for Section C. My club (Forfar) has an entry of 80 pigeons plus another 6 non SNFC birds in the convoy. Hate to say it but I think Ypres is having a detrimental effect on the entry for this race.

A canny say i've had it that bad Rab, when it comes to scars ave only had 3 return with feathers out, all fae the same race, Newark but if i'm being honest with ma self i've only dropped a handful that i thought were gonna be up tae much. Started the season with a make shift team and they got found out when the going got tough.

Looking forward to the Yb's tae see if there is anything with promise showing itself. I know we should NEVER say it but i do have my eye on 5 or 6 that are doing all the right things, noted their numbers and i'll look back come September.

usually when i dont get my fancied and best birds in the first few home they turn in weeks latter way bits missing from them , i think my first uns get nailed most weeks , have others there that plod up the road and never get a hit so prob the coast is clear afore they reach the danger zones , the 4yr old cock i won wetherby with has been hit with percie every year since a yb and 2 yrs ago was hit at first race and landed in a garden in edinurgh with no tail and not a single secodery flight and couldnt fly , i sent him to come back witton castle that year and he came next day hit again . He was the only doo i never got from newbury but came 10 days latter in bits half tail half wing . he has won me 5 races up till now , but why does it happen to same bird so often ??

That's a question i often ask myself, same doos getting done year on year but escape with their lives tae get done again!! Had an 08 Blue Ck got hit every year from a YUb, and on his final outing last year before the Gold Cup, Down!!! Probably the best condition i ever had him in and he got done. Well that's my assumption.

A few Cleremont threads up, the race is off and there is a current thread with the same info, so will close this one to stop cross-posting.
