No doubt about it, the BOP issue is an issue etc. But to put the blame on that as the main problem is loosing focus on other matters that from my perspective are causing more of an issue. For me, much is happening up in the atmosphere at times etc that the birds just cannot come to grips with sadly & it will turn out a real killer for our sport as more & more flyers become totally frustrated & just walk away from the sport sadly, no matter where one may live. cheers

Crazy stuff by the looks of it Hal Smile

. Heat at times can be over come etc for our birds bounce

but everybody should run for cover when thunderstorms are on the radar for them, from my point of view. cheers

I think all the crops have been harvested now food in the wild must be scarce, cos I've had 3 pigeons back this week that I lost 2 and 3 weeks ago.
1 covered in red mud all over his legs and head and well flown, the other 2 look 100 %, no different to the day I sent them.
All mine in the shed are falling apart in the moult, the ones that have been living rough look like show pigeons.
