was taking a stray up to the national marking to be picked up and watched the guys filling the small plastic drinkers on the baskets within 10 mins the drinkers were full of shavings with the birds unable to drink from them was glad i had not sent any snfc need to do something in another basket one dominant cock stood at the drinker and would not let any birds drink we have to come up with a better idea than this they can go without food but water is a must

Maybe 300 mls but 8 plus hours on wing takes a bit off ,

Mind you my section winner was my second bird 9 1/2 hours and came clapping around house as if he had been to bottom of village but the yearling that came with him was a wee bit knackered lol .

Well done on your section win .

Derek Hay,

I think you are going OTT with your comments, just look at the result and see how close the birds were to each other, you don't get the race finishing that quickly with birds that are suffering from de-hydration, they were ready for a drink yes, and so they should be, after 8hrs flying in the heat, and returns are good.

And by the way we need some help for Maidstone marking 4pm till 8pm, hope to see you there.

 

was taking a stray up to the national marking to be picked up and watched the guys filling the small plastic drinkers on the baskets within 10 mins the drinkers were full of shavings with the birds unable to drink from them was glad i had not sent any snfc need to do something in another basket one dominant cock stood at the drinker and would not let any birds drink we have to come up with a better idea than this they can go without food but water is a must

[Johnleg]

Hi Walter,

Don't know what basket you were looking at, but I emptied most of the baskets before loading, and there were no baskets with shavings in them to the extent that prevented the birds from getting a drink.

On your second point with regards to a dominant cock standing at the drinker and not allowing the birds to drink, we are not allowed to remove any birds from the basket for this type of reason, however, if you would have brought the issue to the attention of any of the helpers, maybe we could have eased the bird back a bit, and allowed the other birds to move in for a drink.

Again we could be doing with extra help at the Maidstone marking, so if you are available we will be only to glad to see you.

Cheers,

John L.
