Good Afternoon
Very busy at the lofts with now 810 birds now with us , most of you would gather the birds have not been out for most of the week with the gale force winds we are experiencing..
Things are going well with more birds arriving tomorrow..
Will update again on Tuesday..

Do they deal with later arrivals differently?
Read where one loft has lost many young.
The MNFC appears a bit of a conundrum.

don't get me started on the mnfc misty, they were very dodgy in my opinion last year.......not very good with updates or information .

Strong on the wing could be a thorn in the side Dave. Dealing with so many must be a head ache. Good luck mate. To let out in bits and drab! Gosh glad it's not me.

Sure all four will do us proud if they get the run of the mill.
Be interesting to see how the grizzles fair, certainly see them coming, and last years entries did very well.
Fingers crossed.

Good Evening
A busy week at the lofts we have just over a 1000 birds currently in the lofts with more arriving over the weekend and next week don’t forget the lofts close the end of March unless you have phoned me to ask for a few extra days.
4 sections will be out next week together and the weather is looking pretty good on the forecast so that helps to get them out..
Will update again on Tuesday..
Jeremy..

yes we didn't see in side but everything was very neat and clean on the out side must be close on 100ft long if not more looking out onto a field perfect for pigeons no one looking over the fence you have to be on the look out for them as we mist the place and had to turn around and ask at a house as we was only about 50 yards away

glad we got into the rpra this year mark, the mnfc wasn't right good if I`m honest ....although our bird did us proud coming 30th in the final, from over the channel .
