Perigrines again

Last weekend I had 10 back out of 14 from Newbury, so not that good.. and to top it off the first bird back a lovely dark chequer went out for a fly tonight and instead of me guarding them with the shotgun like I do every day, I thought I would scrap out for 5 mins first. Guess what percy had him while exercising. I am f****ng pissed off.

sorry to hear that martin its just getting worse feck knows what to do round here
4 pairs within 3 miles how many next year

Sorry to hear about your bird, Martin, Im having a big hen perigrine  and her young cockbird, chasing mine everyday now, been very active again,over the last two weeks, got 7 from 9 from Newbury, the last one with its crop ripped open, pretty sure thier getting hit close to the loft, on thier return from the races,the birds just dont want to fly around the loft anymore, Can.t blame them,really,!!!! Cheers, Dai

Yes your right they been really active lately, good to see our fund being used recently;)   Im going to get this one I will let my birds out tomorrow same time and it will be back and its going down.

You didnt have bad returns from newbury, That's me done this year with ybs we are off this weekend so Im not sending, and Im not training my birds again just to have them turn into peregrine food.

I have about 15 left raced and Im keeping them for next year all done 160 miles, I cant give ybs much dedication because we are off almost every other weekend but old birds Im home all the time. good luck or the rest of the races.
