was reading the other day that a fancier uses a whistle to get them to trap.....when he takes them training there is no one at home to get them in for him so he leaves a tape playing at home in the garden and when the birds come home they hear it and go into the loft where they find the tray out with corn in it......any thoughts ?

good idea

dont see the point they cant use them

yes they can be used as they can be re registered to any bird

my ets clock cant be upgraded bloke in club wont do it till he gets a letter from him i bought it off saying i bought clock and rings, it was used once last year bloke been in hospital heart probs, sent him pm last week said no probs will send letter havent got it yet

got nothing to do where you bought it from steve they should still do it

secretary told me he wont do anymore unless they come with permission to change clock and rings to my name, but if it was from a club member no proof needed, i think its incase they were stolen he doesnt want any comebacks, but secretary sent clock number off to regional secretary to register in my name with rpra no probs there

so they should be no problem if its in your name think hes being petty

some dont like new starters i got lucky with plot on compound no names on list, needed grass and weeds cutting down, got mates with petrol strimmers, some regret not putting in for it now plot is half as big again as others same price 12 a year

more fool them steve

what a knacker

hes updated clock just got to delete old rings off and put mine on now

well i got my ets system today with me rings and me 35 rings add to the system and then no pad still waiting for the pad to come back from other guy .....then i can get sorted out and box made for pad in place ....

nearly ready for racing then phil

are phil and steve racing obs this season or just ybs...........?

just y/bs

ah right, me too steve......how you doing for ybs so far ?

4 hatched today off herman cocks theyre my first y/bs, plenty of eggs in nests now, getting 2 more hens for hermans next round this saturday

ive had a lot of eggs not hatching, so not got that many ybs so far.......but however many i end up with ill be happy enough to give them a go and race them, ill easy have 26 + so that will do for me.
