I was hoping for one by 11am, it was quite warm already and very still so I didn't think they'd be too quick. Well just before 11 I had a Blue pied appear from over the house, it did a couple of circles before being joined by 5 other birds, they didn't waste too much time before coming down and trapping with all 6 being timed within a minute. The others weren't too far behind in just over an hour I had 25 of the 32 in, I had another 2 during the afternoon, 1 more while I was at the club yesterday evening and 1 on the loft this morning. So have 29/32 in total, 2 of those still missing went last week so I'm a bit surprised they aren't home !! The other is one of the 10 that I brought in this year from Rich in Wales, it was 3 of his that were first on the clock followed by 2 from Alan Still stock. Once again Alan showed us how to do it by the taking the first 6 in the club and first 4 in the Fed, so well done again to him, considering he spent most of last winter in hospital after having a quadruple heart bypass he certainly came back fighting
This is how my birds came, our Club result and our provisional Fed top 10, well done also to Terry Pay, our fed secretary, he is also a big trainer so another advert for his hard work pays off. Terry has a trailer so does also take other members birds, as long as you can get them to him by 6.30 in the morning !!
