no birds left in somerset one loft

this is getting confusing i cant get the basketting list so have less of a clue than some of you as to whats happening............... hope we still have something in the comp tho, would be nice....

looks like one of the earlier lost birds "65" made it back home, but looks like it was sent with the trainers on the 4th and was obviously not ready and never came back today,,,,

Shame as we dont know when it returned and probably needed a good week or so back in the loft before being thrown back in the basket

very true mark totally agree with the comments you have made...........seems such a shame when the bird has struggled back to be maybe just thrown straight back in, not saying this has definately happened but with the limited info we are getting it seems this could be the case.

yeah, for all we know it may have come back this week and then thrown in at the deep end with 138mile in a nose wind.....aint gonna come back from that

but shouldnt have got lost in the first place

seems a shame mark, with all the birds in the loft they arnt going to be nurse maiding them are they.......at the end of the day the birds are there to race and if they get lost then so be it is their policy by the sounds of it.

as you yourslf have said tho mark, sometimes good birds do get lost.......they are not all rubbish hope we get something back tho and still in the comp

fingers crossed lads that it comes back you never know it might of come back when the clock was turned off

Hi Mark, Just goes to show your birds are tryers, the exchange bird from you I have is excellant mate and looking the part. Its had 3 races and its going again this week, seems to be getting more consistant as the distance increases. Lets hope its a winner this week.

that,s what happens when there is 100s of birds to look after
it,s ni inpossible to keep track of every bird whats late back any thing can happen
to them and usally does thats why doing this on a smaller scale you will get more enjoyment
out of it in stead of them just taking your money , on a smaller scale you can detect if the birds are a bit of colour if so it stays to fight another day and not just thrown away .

Thats a very valid comment david, In fact I have experienced it every year of racing...I always get my youngbirds back from wherever they go in training or early races even if I have to pay and send for them. So many times a bird you get back turns out to be a good one and never makes too many mistakes after. Its happened this year and it happened last, I have heared it said some brilliant breeders were not so good racers.
