good

I used to let mine out all day winter rain or shine. Snow or light fog and mist.

Been swapping and changing a mite over past few years. Have the well closed in for 2 - 4 days in the warm and dry regards help with moult etc.

Now out in aviary every day and out flying at least every second day. Why? Because that was when the birds were hopper fed and turned out the best performances race days ... especially at the distance.

Tried and thought otherwise.... but having taken a good stock of past... It is as it is now and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future.

Am going back to training in all weather too.

About three years ago a mate and me had our birds exercising when I saw the sea fret coming in,got mine down right away my mate wasn't so lucky,went up to see him 18 missing and never saw them again.

Not near the sea. Released in fog when training. After asking an old buy, He said it would be clear above the ground fog and no problem. He was right. Stopped being and doing as I once did ... due mainly because I'd bought in new stock etc. Going back to the old ways.

Good I have already reported it via the SHU but the main thing is to get it back to him.

I am located about 10 miles SW OF Glasgow airport in Ayrshire.

I only examined it in semi darkness but it looks unharmed and in good condition.
