Dany get real there nobody can finish a program racing 10 doos at every yb race he would still need to breed 60 yb and send a different 10 every week or at least his first 4 and 6 fresh ones I give up your 5 cans short of a 6 pack rember 10 or 60 crap pigeons will get the same answer lost

Again you don't think outside the box ,its the bop I tell you, its the bop. if birds don't get chased the would be home in the morn, the macs have at one time lost 30 odd fed toppers, what you say to that BAD. Birds.

[Guest johnhunter]

years ago there was heavy losses of youngbirds they actually raced on Fridays,by the way bigda at that time you never saw a sparrowhawk or a peregrine clashing was the reason for the heavy losses

[peter pandy]

The only clashing years ago on the West Route was with the Welsh North roaders who are no longer flying this route moving onto the East-West route into Wales which is why the South of Scotland have decent racing into Gretna etc,.

The problem exists once you hit the Southern Uplands in my opinion. However where weather conditions are perfect the birds would be high and come straight over and good racing would ensue. I do believe the RSPB have ensured the Bassa's are well fed and have followed our race route's with introducing false nest sites for them, After all they introduced them firstly into Cumbria in the early 90s.

1 reported in Leeds last night and another reported in Durham this morning both from sundays race

Here Danny where are the disastrous loSSes (2 S's no wan) happening. All my Ybs are natural and NAE training. Mind am mister average no wan ay the big shots and ave got plenty Ybs left for next year because I managed them to suit Ma sel. If your sending Sick birds that are bred aff numpties by a numpty then yer gonny get 80% losses.

 

Ps. Race 5 at the weekend I sent 4 got 2 and am disappointed in the 2 that never made it because they are Fed and Bred tae race.

[bigbill]

This ain't about bad birds, this about unlucky birds getting caught or forced in to forestry, never to get back out with broken wings. if members have each got 4 birds in their shed with bop marks say total of 200 members over all that's 800 pigeons that where lucky in our fed, but looking at the bigger picture out of 16,500 rung in the fed. 14,500 are eaten or lie dead in the forestry, never to be seen again not even with the Streeters,

[mazzie]

what about a double lib say if 4000 birds went you let the first lot of 2000 off then 20 mins later let the other 2000 off any birds that got hit by the hawks could run into the other batch of 2000 birds and bring them back up the road its hard to explain what i mean lol

Do you not believed there about 14,000 birds missing now in the fed, like why you tell me ,how many we race each week, and come next year a 400 + members can only manage about 4-5 thousand bird to race and that includes old and yearlings
