Not a lot to be happy about George.

Could not sleep last night thinking of the poor lady who is missing and probably fell into the river looking for a ball.

Sad.

Regards..

yes misty

i seem to be going to bed early a lot lately, waking up around 3.00am coming down for a while then going back to bed ........might be the cold weather.

i wake up every night between 3 and 4 go back to sleep till 8 but son was here this morning so up early he said Morgan had 2 teachers come into the butchers the day they were on strike and he had to serve them 

how embarrassing for them george, they were skiving whilst a young lad was getting off his backside and working .......

good on him ...

club meeting at 11.30, a few topics to discuss so ive heard .......

good luck with the meeting David  wonder what will be said if anything  about the ring issue  in January

nothing george, it wont bother most fanciers i recon.....

Busy day today sorting plastic rings on some old birds . Rewriting my book as some pairs changed due to awkward hens but sorted now . Tidied thr garden a little bit and sorted my sisters caravan command system. Even done my own dinner with jayne being at work all day . That was the hardest part . Microwave Chinese meal haha

Just hope everything goes well with all the hard work you put in and no problem with the racing programme.

Horrible situation all round when nothing is certain.

One can only do one's best but the real problems are out of fanciers hands.

But waiting to see what emerges from the shells is worth a fortune.

Good luck.

Hopefully racing goes ahead or all the hard work has been wasted ..not sure what will happen with 100 ybs and 100 old birds ready for racing this year . It will be devastating it really will

this is why im uneasy about breeding young birds, if i breed a load and theres no racing / no one buying them im stuck with them........on the other hand if i dont breed many then racing goes ahead ive lost out there.

get them sold early on the other hand some may want latter ones test the water as they say

Never known a situation anything like the present one.

If things go wrong it will be every fancier and every aspect of the sport affected.

The studs, the suppliers of miracle aids to win and cures, preventatives etc;

I wonder if the continentals are having the same problems.

The latest suggestion that the virus can spread to animals is disheartening and who knows what implications that will involve.

Best bet just hope and pray that matters can be dealt with to allow racing to take place or I can see no reason why not when no pigeon as far as I am aware has ever had it or passed it on without showing any signs.

Just wish I had a magic wand.

Heartbreaking.

Regards.

it would be interesting to see how many rings have been sold

Off to garden soon just the normal cleaning out feed and water sort rings on ybs out as I think 2 might have came off so thats a job going through all those pairs lol. After all that off to work but unfortunately only one client left as another one passed just before Xmas which was devastating. R I P ALAN JONES , my Friend

will put 2 photos up are they same bird

the same bird ?

yes i`d say it was the same bird george, one is before moulting and one after .......

was told it was lost had 2 races as a yb both nationals was lost 2nd one never told it returned till this photo was put up on a site

been told not same bird so will leave it

Would not bet on it.

Surely the ring number will be a clue.

Although I tend to agree with David regarding one is before the molt and one after
there are slight discrepancies regarding the white elements.

Would not be concerned either way, looks a decent pigeon.

Regards..

I would say not . Look totally different to me

The white line on head is different
