Weather Report

The weather was just perfect for our feathered friends! At the time of release, the winds were light and southerly, ranging between 1-5 km/hr from ground level up to 600 meters. As the birds got closer to home, the winds predominantly shifted to a northwesterly direction, blowing at speeds between 10-15 km/hr. The skies were clearing up, and the temperature at the race point was a cool 7°C.

Liberation Report

What a fantastic turnout! We had a total of 86 flyers participating in the event. Among them, 73 WPF flyers released 2574 birds, and 13 GCHC flyers released 254 birds, making a grand total of 2828 birds taking to the skies at 11:00am. The WPF and GHPC birds were released together, forming one big happy group and clearing the area within two minutes.

A special shoutout to our returning fliers! David Mallia made a triumphant return after a year’s break, taking out the federation win. Michael Portelli also had an impressive comeback, running 2nd after a year at the VHA. Welcome back to these members!

This event was a wonderful display of coordination and precision, ensuring a smooth and successful liberation of the birds. We hope everyone enjoyed the experience as much as we did!

Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences from the event. We love hearing from you!
