well done ray well out in front ...was it cock or hen yearling or old bird

great team result ray on a very sticky day

9 birds in the top 25
Good flying ray

Nice one Ray, great result there buddy, keep up the good work

I can see now most of your birds in the top 25 were yearlings ...you must be happy with them atb

It was a yearling cock ,unfortunately I haven't got the sire to him anymore but a few on here got the odd yb off him but I cannot remember who lol

Well done Ray a pleasing result with the first one being well out in front etc thou disappointing about the 20 second scenario. One also could say a tale of 2 events when looking at your over all result with winning your club  & your returns there as such.

The bird landed on top of the loft,lost his footing twice with cramp then came down then hesitated before going in.I was being a bit generous saying 20 seconds probably more but that's part of the game trapping quicker

At least it landed on top of your loft etc Ray MIne tend to be 100 ft + up the gum trees here when making there first port of call. Interesting about the cramping bit above at that distance/velocity, what solution/remedy do you put in place when that type of thing happens as such.

I think the heat played a big part I could be wrong but the birds where dehydrated. Could this not cause cramp ect

I think it probably could ray, hope some find their way home today.....

That's it 7 missing. Don't think I will see anymore

been a very warm day ray, here it has anyway......where they flown down or dehydrated ...?

Both totally knackered

yes I bet they were, especially in this heat....did they go straight to the water...?

Yes they did and sat by it for a while

Some pigeon that Ray great win for you well deserved mate

Fully agree Don thou I'm some what disappointed in the slowness of getting a full result up as such at a Fed level etc in Rays situation. Provisional results are not difficult to achieve I believe if one has the right computor programs in place & they just tend to make things better all round from my perspective for every one concerned on the day & add that interest type factor to our sport.
