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

Any drama tonight Neil ?

No went good
27 min and 25 min plenty of time to reduce that
Be there again by 645 am and again at 5pm as it’s another good forecast
Friday is a no go as I am
In London working to 430

best of luck

Cracking day
Birds went up 645 ,I should make work for 745 easy only 35 miles away
Hopefully be back here at 5pm

all good ?

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
