Looks like a rubbish weekend weather wise. The birds on their way to Fraserburgh doesn't look like they'll get them away till Monday unless forecast changes. When will summer arrive?

It's not looking good is it Steve !!
Our Fed is currently having a discussion as to wether we go today for a 6am liberation tomorrow or do we now basket tomorrow for a Sunday liberation as it does look better Sunday !!
Personally I think they should just basket as normal and if they can't go tomorrow then hold them over until Sunday !!
Let's face it, these weather forecasters couldn't predict wind during a hurricane these days

I'm asking myself the same question. We are not even a month into winter and it's killing me.

Weather forecasting is easy.
When it's sunny you say it's going to rain. You will be proven right sooner or latter.
If it's raining, say it's going to clear. Ditto.
Simple!

We are basketing tomorrow for Sunday. The weather is looking a bit better for next week but we’ll wait and see.

Yep.
A half reasonable pigeon will fly through rain, and less than a mil. of rain in a day is bugger all.
