Hope they turn in mate, weve had a strange one got so many then a few out of the north then nothing for hours luckily only 3 missing but our race was from Marlborough to many feds in a short area criss crossing each other. Best of luck to you both
Hope you get them all back mate , shows how easy it is for young birds to go off track ,hopefully they all work back ,definitely clashed somewhere mate
@alibrospigeons8317 Reckon your dad's right ,they should all go up together, same thing happened in london when size of the birdage dropped, still had several feds arguing about flying alone ,now the sport as died a death down here ,most of my mates who still fly now fly south road as the racing seems to be a lot better as the birdage is a lot higher ,hope most of them get back over the weekend
@@stuartsmith2851you can’t please everyone Stu , but there is one thing for certain is nobody would clash with the UNC if we had 20000b heading our way and it makes it better for everyone else that we are out the way 👍
I hope they turn in for you, lads. Its guttering when you put all the time, effort, and preparation in and bang their gone! YB racing these days! It seems good returns are a better day than winning these days.
@@alibrospigeons8317 can never understand the lack of communication surely with the tech at everyone's fingertips it would not take alot to stop this happening. Down south we have that three ways , east to west north to south and south to north which carries our birds over .
Frustrated for you both Richy, yes totally avoidable, the powers that be need to take notice but won't its been going on for years but with the expense associated now minds need to change, I've no doubt you'll get some of the good birds back again and I'm also guessing a lot have overflown because of the issue, on a good note it means they are capable of bigger distances but hoping you get them back in time mate.. thanks lads
@@alibrospigeons8317 see what the week brings return wise, I for one would wholeheartedly agree with you but what happens when others are racing and your'e not ?? Take your time this week, as I said hopefully will still be positive, I'm still seeing small groups up here at Doxford of about 7 or 8 but they are proper race birds but again probably lost their way, as for the seagulls we were in shields park yesterday and the place was overrun with them and young ones, proper nuisance value all around .mate, have a good week both..
aye ya dads right its just like a lucky dip . get them all up together then the combine has more chance due to the bigger birdage.we wanted it year ago in the WDA but other feds voted against it .hope they turn in for you 👍
@@alibrospigeons8317 hope the rest work there way home typical lib do you or don't you in the end of the day it's the birds welfare that's more important than hoping to get the right lib Same in Ireland southern bird's clashing with Northern birds sometimes I wonder do they communicate with each other with a average of eight thousand southern bird's to twenty thousand Northern birds I'm surprised The loses are not greather but that's pigeon racing for you
Watching your reaction on the race, I've never seen your dad so worked up as with the first arrival, or you so deflated at the end of the video, it wasn't your or your birds fault they are trying their best. I've seen a south flying lib that was still grouping in the air when it was hit by successive large groups going north, the ones that were ready to go took off with them, others ignored them and kept on going around,. The convoyer was shouting words like bast***ds, f***ing bast***ds,. He was convinced he would get the blame, at least in england there is plenty of water to help them recover and reorientate over the next few days, I wish you all the best, good luck to you both and your young pigeons
It seems like they hit the bubwith lib going south, absolutely crazy and it could have been any of the libs but today it was ours , how could the bubwith lib when they knew we had batches coming every 30 mins , I wonder how there returns are
Hi guys.Bubwith. Norwich NRCC up 6,05 am good returns taking just over two hours. My CC Norfolk &Suffolk held till 9am to avoid UNC. again good returns (100%. for me ‘)similar times. Hope you get them. We’ve all been there.
@@roberttemple4873see Rob when you think about it , your birds were up 55mins before us so when they clashed your lib was in full racing mode whereas our birds would have just hit the sky so I don’t think your birds were effected at all mate
Right guys what an absolute disaster , we are still 21 missing and haven’t seen a bird in hours and it’s all the good ones , 3030 who won the first 2 races and all of the bullets ybs . They have clearly clashed which was are instant fear and the bird we got first has an injured foot so was the last bird we expected first . The whole fed has suffered bad loses but as always some worse than others . 2nd club and maybe around 12-13th Fed so where just sat here now hoping we can get some of these birds back now 🤞
I think we’ve got atleast one back today possibly two when our birds have been loft flying , I’ve located one of them and I’ve put it in the old bird loft for next year as it’s off our top pair , so we are 8 or 9 short mate
@@alibrospigeons8317 why not keep it in the young bird team, those that returned late learned the most and will not get lost easily. Not all are good you need to test the young birds in their first year. Really enjoy your videos and your trapping birds are awesome.
Richie, as you know mate I watch religiously and this is nothing to do with you guys. As you say, somethings happened mate, this year seems to be the worst ever for losses, bad libs, weather, birds of prey and everything else you guys have to deal with. It's a crying shame, as the beginning of this video you say how good the team are this week. I pray 🙏, not that I'm religious and keep my fingers crossed that the team arrive back and safely mate. I still want to say well done on the results mate, but I feel your pain.
I’m wounded mate , if I could blame the birds today I wouldn’t feel as bad but I think we liberated on another lib who had been in the sky for 55mins , it would have happened so quickly and they wouldn’t know what hit them . I just prey they found water and can regroup and head home but I know most who are missing are gone for good unfortunately mate , as I said in the video the combine are asking for to much time over 2 1/2 hrs to lib , but I still think the birds liberated at bubwith knew exactly what they had done but from what I’ve heard they got away with it as By the time they clashed they were in race mode for home . It’s terrible really mate
@alibrospigeons8317 Richie, I don't know what to say mate, as nothing I say can make this any better. It's been such a bad season but your team of birds have shone through every time. I really am upset for you guys, it's not the same pain you guys are going through, but I really do feel for you mate. All we can do is hope and hope your wrong for once and they do come through mate.
How do you mean Richie avoidable disaster? Should they have hung back on the liberations? If the top end still hadn’t cleared You always seem to get a couple of dodgy liberations with young birds no matter how good Nick the birds are in let’s just hope a lot yours way back in before the end of the day because those are missing now I’m missing too long. You can’t get them back right to get them back in the program best of luck lads
I’m thinking we’ve hit another liberation , so communication is the avoidable part mate , as we are missing all our best birds and the birds who have been missing or injured have all returned so my guess is it’s the leading birds who have hit another lib and the slower ones have maybe missed it
Thanks for the video, really enjoyed it. The joys of pigeon racing, crazy what goes on some race days
These days certainly test your resolve Ray , came totally out the blue 👍
