Nothing wrong with weather yesterday, was told the Peregrines were attacking at Liberation site. Probably explains your poor returns.

sapper756 Posted May 19, 2009 Report Posted May 19, 2009 Race controller must be one of the most difficult possitions to hold, we propose these people and vote them into post at our AGM,s, so we need to have faith in them and support them in their decisions, and remember they are only human and may make mistakes. As said b4, if you feel you can do a better job, then stand up and be counted and put yourself forward at the next AGM, however I doubt that will happen :-/ I can also understand that fanciers become disappointed at not getting a race when others around them are having a good race. Is it the case that it comes down to finances, and how much it costs to keep a transporter and personnel down at a liberation point waiting on suitable weather? In the ideal world our birds would go to the race point every week, and if need be, move back up the road for a shorter race(better than no race) but this does not always happen. So lets support our officials and work with them, for what is the best for our birds, I would just like to add, that some people who shout about birds not going, will be amongst the first ones to complain if they have a bad race due to birds being liberated in dodgy weather. this is only my opinion, and in no way directed at any individual club, federation or fancier Enjoy and be patient
Novice Posted May 19, 2009 Report Posted May 19, 2009 How do we determine what a good race is? When monitoring returns we need to appreciate that it's not only fishermen who stretch the truth. This weekend I lost 6 pigeons from 44 sent---not too bad but when you consider that 3 of the birds which returned late have injuries which will prevent them racing again this year then all is not what it seems. Winning velocities were high but this is no indicator of race quality. I think that any decision to avoid mass liberations into strong winds with a threat of thunder at the weekend were commendable.

I know a lot of birds still missing tho. Was a very weird race tho. All our birds were coming back from the north. Strange
