Above freezing here today and yesterday. Replaced the landing board and used a 3 hole speed trap instead of the bob wires. no e clocks allowed in this club. Put in a post for the landing board. Ground still frozen 6 inches down. Eggs hatching. So all is well. Weaned two young today. 8 x 8 loft with aviary. Only two banded this year so far. Predators scared the crap out of the rest.

Better you than me etc   "frozen ground" Nice day here (Not to hot & not to cold)   First Fed race for the young bird season & it's right on the nose   the wind & at around 120 miles, some will be found wanting       I suspect.

Not sure I understand? Young bird season?

That's ok Halcanada    I quite often get confused  some what   in what I write etc. In general terms, young birds here have 7/9 races up to 250 miles "If"     they last the distance. Then !!!     with a wave of a wand       they then turn into old birds, type of thing & then fly up to 700 miles in the old bird season, if there lucky. Now !!! if your still   I'm   there is not much more I can say    .  

bright and sunny here, still windy but not too bad........    

All age racing? Same as Portugal? Sorry for being so thick headed. Here we have old birds and the young bird season. I have flown young in ob races and did well. But it is not usually allowed here.

That's ok Hal    (Thick head) Many think where all a bit that way down here     seeing as we call an Old bird, anything that is 4 months old or older type of thing. To race in the old bird season, out to 700 miles.

I love a good mystery    "Just when"      is this garage going to be finished etc & as far as the mob of 33
"Watch out R/P" the assault is about to start & you had better clear the airways.  

the garage alterations were started in 2012, and hopefully will be completed in 2014........     having the lure of pigeons around you is too much of a temptation to skive I`m afraid...........  

as for the "33", im sure the numbers will have dwindled by the time racing comes around.......         


as for the weather today, it is fine and dry for now, might go mix some concrete......   

sun and showers here today
