Update Thursday 22/12 – 9.53- Mosgiel and Invercargill races – There will be no liberation today – Updates to follow.
Update Wednesday 21/12 – 8. am – Mosgiel and Invercargill races – Unfortunately there will be no liberation today – Weather overcast for the Cook Strait has rain and winds of 35/40 knots later in the day. This has prompted the decision not to release today as after flying the whole day the birds would have to cope with the strong Southeast Wind over the straits. I ask all our flyers to please be patient and the reports from the handlers in Mosgiel and Invercargill is that the birds are in good nick eating and drinking well. Not the news many were hoping to hear but the welfare of the birds come first.
Update Tuesday 20/12 – 8.40 am – Mosgiel and Invercargill races – There will be no liberation today – Weather overcast with rain and poor visibility and particularly bad throughout the West Coast but clearing.
Hopefully we have a liberation tomorrow.
Update Monday 19/12 – 8.am – Mosgiel and Invercargill races – There will be no liberation today – Unfavorable weather conditions.
Update Sunday 18/12 – 9.am – Mosgiel and Invercargill races – There will be no liberation today – Unfavorable weather conditions.
The birds are being cared for and watered and fed by the handlers in Mosgiel and invercargill.
At this stage it looks like there is a possibility of Wednesday liberation.
