Yes we actually do what's the problem?. Your stray officers are obviously not checking wing stamps all birds are sent back to Lanarkshire if they are from Lanarkshire wing stamped its up to your stray officers to sort out nothing to do with SHU STRAY CENTRE I try my best and yes I do make some mistakes I will admit, if all birds were wing stamped it would be so much easier to return them to their rightful owners unfortunately about 99% are not wing stamped that includes plain SU GB NWHU NEHU IF you purchase birds that are not SU rung surely if you want them back you should wing stamp or phone number rings on legs. There are always negative comments made about the stray centre the majority of fanciers are grateful for the return of their birds for a fee of £5. I believe this is the best option for fanciers rather than having to arrange couriers etc for a much greater expense. I do this for the benefit of the birds and the fanciers not for financial reward. There are a number of scottish border fanciers who go out of their way to bring between 50-100 birds per week to the stray centre and take 2-3 sb birds back per year. Would fanciers rather there was no stray centre and prefer to make their own arrangements?

Davie you do a great job mate

[davie gullane]

Davie you do a great job mate

thanks mate don't get much positive comments only negative on here

[Ian McKay]

I think the stray center is a brilliant option

to get a bird to Aberdeen is about £60

Davie is right get them wing stamped

All stray officers should check the wing stamp not just the ring

 

We cannot do without a stray center it is a must in today's world

 

Well done Davie keep it up

[RyanDavidson]

Well said Davy ,there will always be moaners mate

[scott mca]

Very well done Davie

[dkj]

davie you do a 1st class job

[BLACK W F]

Davey does a great job but the problem is the fanciers I have had loads of y/bs in this season a couple with name and address rings the rest no wing stamps remember its shu rule no one should be racing y/bs without wing stamps

[airdrie2]

it is totally correct what davie has said ,may i also add that every stray that has been returned to lanarkshire dosent mean it has came through the stray center as lanarkshire doos collected in lanarkshire transport goes straight to lanarkshire stray officer, not the stray center, and ps out of the 5.00 that davie has said , he only gets 50 pence yes correct 50 pence which this man donates to his club every year

keep up the sterling work Davie and i think a stray in lanarkshire is about 7.00

[Kyleakin Lofts]

Davie, you do a great job and it is much appreciated. Keep it up.

[ross david]

[old owl]

You do a great job davie don't listen to the fools on here

[W.D.]

Have to agree the man does a great job,and a credit to the fancy. Don't know many other organizations that do this service? He must see and hear all sorts,sick,injured birds that shouldn't even be in a basket,no I.d.on them,he's even been accused of taking the ets rings off them?!

He even got a GB rung old bird back to me that had been put in stray basket,and I live in Gloucester!

Take a bow Davie.
