Does anyone on here have any experience of being inside a restricted zone?

I don’t really Dave but I’m sure someone can help you. I know there are 3 different zone levels. On the tightest one you can only let the birds out to exercise for an hour once per day. In the second zone you can train your own birds on your own but aren’t allowed to mix with birds from other lofts.
Looks like a big part of the North of England are within the tightest level.

Sorry no

No only when it’s a hours flight a day
I dont know if that’s per section but I guess it is

Tbh I think it’s the whole loft

I'm in a restricted zone. Mine aren't going out yet, so doesn't affect me. Local lads just loft fly as normal (supposed to be 1 hour) but nobody's checking and if they fly longer what difference would it make? The local wild birds are still around 24/7
The restrictions are more aimed at stopping training (birds leaving the area) but again the wild birds are still doing just that.
