Hej Lads & Lasses,
Thanks Donnie.
fou, Heine was thwarted this year but it is just a matter of time before he do`s succeed, he has the birds to make it 4,5 or 10 times, it is up to everyone else to breed and fly better birds.
I know this is not the right thread but I would just like to say that despite what some fanciers on this forum might say, the hawk problem in Europe is just as big as what it is in the US, the fanciers who fly their breeders also lose them to the hawks, there are other weather conditions that can ruin a good kit of rollers on the day, not just heat, over the years I have lost hundreds of birds including breeders due to the sea mist which can drift in over the houses but I do not complain, I just get on with the job of rebuilding my stock.
Eric.
