I feel for you it must be so madding the work you have put in and for this to happen
but when you see the amount of hawks you have around there.
you must be sick. but the members no all you can do is your best.
and we all see that you have put in 110% and more.
hope graham you get them back.

As you well know Graham "Crap happens"    more times than we like to admit in this caper unfortunately. Your effort for what I see has been 110% plus. Nothing to be ashamed of when you look in the mirror type of thing, thou we all understand your frustration.

im still shocked and down but ive the ones left to look after a list will be put up sunday of whats still hear giving others time to come back

I think their is just to much percy about now g ...when they flown out in a panic they are easy pickings for sparrowhawk aswell....then the heat plays its part as they only know the loft and basket drinker and hopper so they don't think straight when taking a wrong turn ...shame but as you say ya gotta do rite by wats left atb m8 jmo like

so true daz but with me this was a test i held on for the later arrivals so all got a fair chance training its not worked out like that seeing empty perches and you know whats missing is heart rendering but whats left will be going at 5am sunday morning thanks

am sure it posted but my laptop did crash not long after are well maybe me going senile

take no notice of the whingers g as anyone with any salt would know how difficult and unpredictable ybs can be in their preparation for racing ...so much can go wrong no matter how hard you try...things out of your hands....I am shocked that some individuals have complained and as you say let them try it next year ...good luck with the rest of the test birds
