Marree No 3 16 October 2021. 75 Owners 1126 birds. Birds were released at 7am, upon release the birds formed 1 batch but were reluctant to leave taking 8 mins to clear the race point. Conditions at release were fine and clear with a 15 km/hr S Wind. The convoyer reported the birds fed and watered exceptionally well. Good luck in todays race. Co-ordinates are the same.
