Hens were removed today leaving the cocks with a single baby each to finish of rearing. Cocks will be exercised each morning for a couple of weeks before being re-paired. A few short training tosses will be given starting on 5th day after re-pairing, a couple of 30 milers whilst sitting............. well that's the plan anyway

Really looking forward to it in my new club, new loft with a new team after my year off.

Must say a big thank you to my friends (you know who you are) for all the help with birds, equipment and putting up my new loft and trap. Thanks for getting me back in the sport soo quick.
