Re: Hawks / peregrine lost birds

Andy I think the Combine race program isn't good 4 times @ Chale with the peregrines on the island what chance have we got. With the lack of distance going E to W it's not a good program in my mind but with a falling membership year on year because of a range of issue's etc age,health, BOP it's not...

Re: Hawks / peregrine lost birds

I agree with your point NeilA that all liberation site needs to be checked for everything before agreeing it's use.
