They just can't stay out long hunting , in rain !!

But it is the Desperate time for Hens to feed up

before going down on eggs,

Drizzle rain, Have rethink that one ,

Aye lads

Doesn't matter a jot about rain or whatever, when raptor needs to feed, it will regardless of weather conditions, myself and next door neighbour who races doos as well have had couple close encounters this past week, thankfully no casualties thus far

Hi John, Got to disagree we you about

weather conditions NOT mattering, when

bop needs to feed ? Yes he will TRY to hunt,

But Wet feathers don't work as well as dry ,

Also these birds don't have big energy stocks

So on windy days they to work harder to stay

on prey , And that's why fanciers who wait

for so called Bonny days to train Sun out !

Clear sky's ! Light breeze ! Tossed at Noon !

End up looking for a Rope !!!

 

John at Percy wiz doon port Gorden area

this morning , ur problems probably come

Fa Cullen side , Good luck John ,

The weight of a raptor determines when it's got to hunt/ kill / eat .
