Morning All

Up bright and early this morning, a lovely day here, blue skies with a slight breeze.
Had the birds out for their first exercise , they are firing on all cylinders today 22 out flying well 18 back in the loft still awaiting four, not worried, they know where they live now. Team 2 are looking good 20 in their section now.

Two more back.

nice one gaz.....glad the ybs are going well.....lovely morning clear blue sky

nice fine day here in leeds, a bit breezy but cant grumble........will you be exercising the teams seperate gary or all togeather ?

One more back.
To separate teams mate. as one team will be way ahead of the other.

ah right, i did this a couple of years ago, very time consuming............

the little newby i put in with the ybs a couple of days ago is settled in nicely, he/she is eating with the rest of them now and found its self a perch...........its even sticking up for its self too

It will be a little hard work at first, but once the second team are ranging, I will open the loft sections up until I separate the sexes prior to racing.
This will then make life easier for a while. But the second team will probably get a jump in training to catch up the first team.
That's good the young un settling in, it doesn't take them long.

morning all blooming lovely here suns out its 14 o and since fri night ive had 3 birds back from the bad race 2 weeks ago so there trickling back slowly going to basket me yb up now . cheers all

Good news mate, at least they are finding their way home.

Just had another youngbird return that's been gone since six this morning, just one adrift now.

is it back yet gary.....?

Yes mate, it arrived about 30 mins ago
A full house now.

well done gary, glad to hear its home..........

glad to hear you got a full house again gaz ........i dropped 1 yb this afternoon they were going great guns but went out of site and came back in singles ......maybe a hawk went into them

Cheers guys, the last one home was totally flown out with it's wings drooping, god knows where it's been, it was out over twelve hours, but at least they are finding home.
You never know Darren, lots happen that we don't see mate.
But at the end of the day, It's all education for them at least they are returning home.

Been a great suuny day with blue skies here in the midlands a little windy but on the whole a very good day

Have seen loads of pigeons flying over today either trainers or late comers

Scattered cloud and sunny here today, but very windy

beautiful sunshine and clear blue skies on the coast in south east essex today, bit of wind but not to bad, morning Obe-One

Morning Steve, am just contemplating letting the yb out, but I moved some more over last night and don't really want the wind catching them first time out.

cold here and windy looks like rain any time

lovely an here with nice clear sky goin to have to top up my tan from yesterday now lol

yes i might be having mine out when i get home, im doing a shift on OT this morning, i had a great offer from Stewhit, i have contacted him to sort that out so no fear with my young birds this year anymore

There's nowt like a bit of overtime. LOL
Yep Ste is a good lad, He had some stunning stock birds when I visited last, he has travelled far and wide for that little collection. A good offer mate.
A big rain cloud has just come over here, so I might as well just nip to Bamfords and let them out when I return.

Our race yesterday was 205 miles to me won in 3hrs 10 mins 1800+ velocitys, north wind though, must have been a good 1 NOT won by me i must add

Rene no way your topping a tan up, it looks nice but its freezing

overcast and drizzle here off to the corn merchants soon to get ingredients for home made matrix and some corn
