19.5 for them but further for me . I can avoid the A road all the way if it’s rush hour and go through the villages on a road running parallel to it obviously a lot of 30mph zones but least your moving

Shot straight to work so asked my sister to pop to the garden to shut the trap
She said there were a lot of pigeons in both cocks and hens so pretty sure it went well but not had a head count off her, I thoughts that’s pushing my luck

Always difficult if you have to get to work & nobody to get pigeons in, I'm retired but have the same sort of problem, if my pigeons get a clear run back I'm usually pulling up on the drive, I'm not back before them because of traffic .
I don't like the pigeons pecking about in the garden & trying to get them in asap but it's difficult I don't like leaving the trap open either so I can't say how long they have been back before I get them in. I'm clocking in on a T3 on race day's, would be easier on ets I could set up a training flight & clock themselves in that way to get some ideal time wise on training times.

It’s not ideal mate
I only had the ETS the last 3 years I lost the combine by a few seconds to a ets user and that made me get it my club was all t3
I know what you mean about traps left open last year I moved a feral cat on that a neighbour bought home from his yard I was very restricted last year June time to I solved the issue the bloody thing would jump on the fence and get up on the loft
I could only train when a member of family would open then close the trap just before and just after they were home
I couldn’t go out and leave it open at all

Years ago I had a anti cat trap when I worked away the birds soon got use to it but only one bird can use it at a time
