Birds out today

Had 2 sections out today for first time , 18 cocks 18 hens. Must say we'll pleased as everyone of them went in their right sections. So really pleased with that as that's a first .

all looking good now

It's a great start for now . Might be different tomorrow with other section haha

How you sleep on a night with the reponsibility of so many pigeons is beyond me,
but you certainly get better results than Jeremy.

Jeremy, the gentleman who can lose the RPRA OL entries faster than greased lightening.

Terrible thing being jealous etc Misty should just sit back there now I suggest & simply watch an artist at work showing his skill factor as an artist & then perhaps simply admire his gift     somehow to this sport of ours, in pigeon racing as such.

Birds doing better than I thought. Using traps as well as doors. Soon only way in is the trap then the work begins

Few photos would be nice.

Then we could follow your progress through the season.

Look forward to it.

Approaching worst time for raptors, hens looking to build up prior to laying.

As if the sport has not enough troubles.

Should have been seen to in the 1970s but then we are talking RPRA.

Anyway all the very best.

two big kites circling around here yesterday, never bothered the pigeons, although the pigeons do watch them and are wary of them ......

plenty here David

same as the two here george, both circling around probably looking for mice etc .....

Had the birds out on Monday morning before work and lost a blue camphuis hen to a hawk going to keep them in till the weekend when I can keep a eye on them

did you have them on open loft Mark

Bloody nuisance these things . What chance have we we can't even get to.the first bloody race with these bastards about and that's me swearing sorry

mine don't fly out so am safe

are there nothing to keep them away

when i used to have mine out i used mirrors placed at an angle around the loft, as big a mirror as i could find..........the sun would reflect off the mirrors and in theory distract the hawks,

did it work, im not too sure, but i cant say i ever had a strike when i had the mirrors out .......i suppose a dull day wont have helped much though .

i read the flashing yellow warning lights work are they called beacon lights
