In todays’ race from Cobar 19/10/2013, app 1900 WPF, Geelong, VRPU and GMPF birds were released at 7.15 am.  Conditions at the race point were clear and sunny with a 10-15 km p/h North Easterly wind.  Upon release the birds left the race point in one group within three minutes, with app. 150 birds returning to the race point then leaving after a further 15 minutes.

For the trip  home the birds are expected to encounter North Easterly winds of 15 to 20 km p/h shifting to Northerly and increasing to 20 to 30 km p/h winds once they cross the border.  Top temperature expected in Victoria today is 28 degrees.

Don’t forget that production of clocks is at 8pm.

Good luck to all.
