hows the exchange birds doing

hows every body doing with the exchange birds lost both mine.one at 10 mile and the other in our first race which was a desaster bin a nightmare down here.

Mine are doing great, 2nd club first race (last weekend) - very pleased

still gone mine, very pleased with how the training has been going and looking forward to entering the newark race this saturday........... (thanks steve...lol)

Sad News David, both the exchange birds are gone, this year has without doupt been the worst ever..many fanciers down here have had enough and are packing in almost weekly. For example , some fanciers bred 60 ybs 5 left, thats the worst I know, some with only 13 left from 60. I have now got 8 injured by attaks, and out of 85 ybs I have 26 to race....not sure whats going on in pembrokeshire this year bu the perigrines are getting more dence in population noticably so, but that cant be just the reason, our fed doesnt look after our birds, clashing a big problem and the fact our first race is 98 miles its too far we should be getting 40 and 60 milers in.

sorry to hear that martyn, i cant beleive the bops are just being let to cause havoc........all the rpra do is bury there heads in the sand, and show more interest in organising crap like the picture competition for the royalwedding/aniversery or something like that which is advertised in the homing world.

lost my 3 had 1 back sunday, but ah well these things happen just will move on but hard to loosing so many that have been raised and flown and trained all this time

excellent result again steve well done very pleased for you mate

lost my first yb yesterday alex, let them out for exercise from the loft and one didnt return, no sign of her today either so dont hold out much hope..............cant understand it hto, shes trained half a dozen times from 25 miles......

i lost one training, 2nd chuck from 25 miles....had to be my luck and be the bird that was always ahead

strange though david but think you still get flyaways even after training round loft

i still have mine they have had plenty of training from 30 miles going to step them up this week ....

still have my two
