Not what you want at all.
I wonder what the conditions were at the liberation point. If the young birds were released into fog, some people have questions to answer.
At least Christoph and Leon had most home and we hope the others were close and turn in.

Greetings from the land down under. 
Blessed is he who expecteth nothing, for verily, he shall not be disappointed.

Yes Murray questions to be asked, it is a very open space where they live. A great fly in on a clear day.
Terrible Buster. They went up at 11.15 from only 34 miles. I had one at 12.22, which wasn’t actually that far behind. This was my only one out of the 8 sent until I had another at 17.30 when I went up the club. I had 3 more back when I got home. One of these has only got 2 tail feathers left and feathers missing from around the rump. She is also limping so that’s her finished for the season. There were a lot of empty perches with most members only getting about 2 thirds back. 39/59, 26/41, 13/18, 10/15 etc. sounds like most of the combine had bad returns. I did have one reported today in Swindon, about 40 miles North of me.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.
