<pre><pre>Ilkeston Young Birds &amp; AA Old Bird National Young Bird Winners AA Old Bird Winn er Mellonby, Knowles &amp; Simpkin T Haley of Bridlington of Abbots Langley After a peregrine strike on site at Ashbourne on Saturday morning a quick decision was made to move the birds to Ilkeston liberation site where the 1,300 birds were liberated at 9am. (Clive Merrills – Race Advisor) Liberation from Ilkeston was at 9am in a light SW breeze. Sunshine with a few white clouds. They cleared in one batch immediately south. The route is clear with sun but some cloud in the west. The wind is from the SW light but increasing to 10 to 15 mph as the day progresses. Our thanks and gratitude to all the I/C’s, markers and helpers on Thursday. Also to Andy Parsons, Clive &amp; Jill Rogers and Anner Smith.

She has been a steady, consistent bird for me for the last 2 seasons. She came back from this RACE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. It was a very tough race here in the South West. I think we need to say a big thank you to Race Advisor, Clive Merrills, and Convoyers Pat and Chris for moving the convoy to Ilkeston after witnessing the horrific peregrine attack on a Welsh organisation that liberated early.
