There are now 20 back into the UK. All well over the East of the country, nothing over my way. Out of the 20 Preece & son have 8 and Chipperfield has 3. There was a 2 year old timed today but the rest were older with a 7 year old and a 6 year old timed this afternoon. They have done well to keep going in the heat today.
They certainly have done well in this heat and massive well done to the Preece family I did see the results last night and see Mark Gilbert not had so many back which is most unusual for him

John & Dave Staddon have won the west section clocking the only bird back over this side of the country clocking at 8.40am this morning, day 5. It shows how hard Barcelona is to get birds from. They fly about the same distance as me, 699 miles.
Well done to Dave and all other timers, birds have had it rough with this heat
