down to the uh basketing event at um basket in night at the white heart in all dollars
so let's have a look how this all goes on
going into that
oh
they're all loaded up with the old birds
and they've got to go and do some more pickups for the rest of them
okay
oh i just uh arrived i don't think that is the up north combine it's just a one truck
there and there's another one around the corner so i'll go and speak to them anyway
see what they say well i'm here in newark it's uh just nearly seven o'clock in the morning so
there's a south road transporter there they'll look at liberating at 10 o'clock but i want to
be back to charlie's because i think uh the not south road fed are meant to be
liberating around half past eight so i'd like to get back to charlie's before his birds come in
but there's the up north combine there i think not as many i was expecting to be bigger
it turns out that's not uh the up north combine which i thought it looked
a little bit uh small for something that had a bit of a reputation for sending a little bird so
these both of these uh liberations of south road north road clubs so that was thames valley
and that one there is uh somewhere in london anyway so we're gonna head over to the
new show ground which is where up north combine is so here's the up north combine it's more like it
hello
come on
the downside of putting your tripod underneath all the birds as you get bird poo all over them so uh
just watched a few liberations for the up north combine really impressive to see loads of birds
and uh i think those guys do quite a good job really considering
you know there's not like they get paid a lot of money for it um and there's a
lot of pressure involved you've got everybody that's breeding their birds spent all summer
all winter breeding birds um obviously these are the old birds that they're racing now so
you know it's like their prize and their prized possessions um and so these guys have got to be
really careful that they do it properly um and obviously some people get a bit i don't know
i know that they're a bit nervous about showing anything that other people might think isn't um
isn't done well or whatever you know a bird might come out of there a little bit slow or you know
hit the ground on its way out or whatever but actually no no birds have must have watched 15
000 birds get liberated there and not a single one is uh injured or straggling around anywhere
they all got away really quickly really clear nobody hit anything or anything so i don't know
i think um if you guys with the up north combine i think you should be pretty proud of having
those guys because they've done a pretty good job and i hope yeah they deserve a bit of credit so
good to see anyway i've got to go now because uh charlie's just running me and apparently his
birds were liberated uh our club but our old birds were liberated at quarter past
10. so i've got to get over to allison now to see them come in should be due in 20 minutes
from that direction
it's a nice sky for it oh one of our dozen registered last night i think
do you know which one one one it's gonna be the one one seven three all one hit with the one that
comes in first you're watching well we're really going back a few years two together
and one of the modern registers on tonight i knew that when it dropped on i said that that's
his own so it doesn't register last night the other one did so would it be first and second
flare right expecting them any time now are we just keep looking don't we look you see them
they've gone that way yeah
so they would they be yours or they were going refrigerating
they went around the back of the house houses so we should see them
yep
did it
turn around
where's she gone
must be peeling off then
that's two
come on
