Bad day racing UK 19th June

Seems the majority of UK experienced terrible returns yesterday, many organizations with velocities below 1000ypm and many empty perches, some fanciers with majority still missing.
North road, south road, wales, scotland all got hammered at some stage. In some instances there was cloud and a litte rain but in many cases it appeared to be a dry clear run. Hope more return.

my org been having awful racing on the north road this year

Think there is something amiss.

The weather as we normally consider it has been more than reasonable, yet most fanciers are seeing under  performances and losses or really late returnees.

Weather people say that there has been significant changes in the weather patterns world wide, but the birds that migrate seem to get back and forth.

However, the house martins that bred in the neighbours house eves for the past couple of years has not been seen this year, could be coincidence, but never seen so few this year, used to see many swooping around when walking Misty seen very few this year.

Think Borris must have something to do with it David.

Oh to be a liberator type etc Don just about the hardest job going on the planet I suspect when things go wrong in a major/tragic type way on race day.

That's really strange considering it was an east wind too, that's a bit hit to take pal hope some start drifting back soon.

if you listen to the witch doctors you should'nt venture out in an east wind, awful race, yeovil birds never cleared so other feds brought birds back, crackin decision now, been up at crack of dawn each day with nout coming back, bird reported in bridlington fancier said "she has broke her heart" , should just go out get leathered have a fight and right it all off

We send 18 get 4 back, Got pigeons from Scotland /Ireland in Just non of our own . I honestly think there is something going on With the weather

Been saying that from the beginning of the season jet as has David.

The  wild birds are not acting the same as normal.

No one knows what the Chinese and Russians are  up to with regards to technology that may affect nature as a whole and migrating and homing birds  in particular.

Maybe experimenting going on.

In my 80 years involved in the sport there has always been bad races and losses many due to bad liberations, but birds are being lost  in near ideal conditions.      

Feel fanciers will soon say enough is enough, proven birds are being lost hands over fist never as before.

Will be interesting to see what happens for the rest of the season.

Regards.
