Today I let my team go beside the Yorkshire middle route liberation I live know where near this organisation I wanted to get my baby's shook up before mnfc I let mine go with the liberation but they was struggling to keep with them ,,I had ets when I got home I had 23 drop together and 37from 38 on the clock 38th come 1hour or so later ,my friend called from the Yorkshire middle route and they had a shocking race today ,,its crazy I was at lib site 7am and the convoyers done a fantastic job and the liberation was fantastic my birds returned brilliant so inbetween me and the fed something went massively wrong it's mind blowing how this happens so often now.
Well done Ant, that's how to do it. I take it you haven't raced the YBs in the club at all this year. It will be interesting to see how the come in the National.
The York birds were racing from Huntingdon 117 miles today with the GYA. Up at 11.50 Light South wind. The leading birds into York made around 1500 but there were big gaps and lots missing.
Yorkshire middle route let go 11,30am 20 miles from York fed on direct line so I say these birds definitely got mixed together.

Something is causing this. All over the world there are some reports of catastrophic losses this year, and some reports of great returns, never been better.
I am happy that I am in the second category.
I've talked to a lot of blokes all over the south east of Australia. There are a couple of things I have been told repeatedly by flyers who have had serious losses. And repeated losses.
I know successful flyers who have not made it to the end of the season.
I have formed some opinions about why some people are not just having a bad race, which can happen to anyone. Some people have had several bad training tosses and then several bad races.
I see it as a combination of things. One or two factors, maybe get away with it. But add another one or two factors, I think you have the recipe for empty perches.
I'm not going to say what I think the causes are, because I will be told I am WRONG
and it's not worth an argument.
But the same things do seem to be common to a lot of sad stories.
Pitch up Murray - You always talk sense and I for one respect your opinions and it would also add to the debate and add a little more insight to know its happening to you guys too.. As Pete Derby has said everyone is 'guessing' what's happening anyway.

What iv noticed Murray only here in uk
The natural baby's seem to be homing better and if lost working home well ,where the darkness baby's are really getting hammered this season that's only thing iv noticed, I know lofts that use different vaccine n lofts that use just pmv and there getting hammered but both are on darkness,,
I my self won't put baby's on wagon I get up early drive to liberation site and realise mine beside liberation this is working out much better for me ,,I all so raced late breds last Yr and there's no difference in the amount u lose if you race baby's or late breds against old birds .

Touch wood the lads up here seem to be getting good racing. Ours have been finished a couple of weeks but speaking to different lads last night and seems basically 100% returns again.
