Well done Trev great result.

[Trev]

Thanks Les and thanks all, having waited so long to get a decent distance race again I am pretty chuffed with that result although it is bitter sweet as I still have some good birds missing. As well as a great club and fed result it looks we should get pretty decent combine places too with Martin Slade currently sitting in 15th and me in 23rd.
I have had two more home today, both birds bred by our friend and late Worthing and District H.S club Secretary Roy Olliver. The first is a 3 year old hen, she is skin and bones and has a few rump feathers missing but seems in good spirits !! The other is a 3 year cock, I've not handled him yet as he has only just turned up but he has retaken possession of his nest box so can't be too bad lol
Hopefully a few more will work back once they've rested up a bit.
As always there are some strange reports from races like this, one of our members had one of his entries reported on a fishing boat 35miles off the coast from Perth yesterday while other Fed members have already had birds reported from North of Perth down to the West Midlands !! Now considering the conditions that itself isn't surprising but what is, is that some birds always seem to make it through. Now is it the race birds or the clever birds that make it Are the birds that made it yesterday those that packed up early Saturday so were able to get up and go again early next day whereas those that kept going until nightfall were too worn out to do so the beauty of this sport is that we will never know
Well done anyway to all those in the result and that have birds back, hopefully more will continue to work in over the next few days

Well done Trev on your two good birds. I clock in btw your two at 11.10am. Got another at 4.55pm but didn't bother to clock him. He would of been 5th club, while my first bird finished third. That's the old bird season over for another year. My ybs go out today for the first time.

Well done Les a great and well deserved result for you mate your bird must have spent the night with my 2nd as they are only 7 minutes apart lol in a race like that mate you really should have left your clock running lol that is a fantastic result for you getting 2 from 4 in a race like that my friend so well done to you

Trev i did say that the weather in the West midlands was bad maybe that is why some dropped here and some may just have missed the rain as you say things like that we never know, but huge congratulations and I hope your missing ones return, I also agree what you say about clocks if a bird does it's task it should get the recognition it deserves

I do agree with that and if mine was timed after other birds had arrived but not been timed I would say mine has beaten them. But in Les’s defence I know he doesn’t drive and has a difficult trek to get to his club so can fully understand why he didn’t clock it.
