well done john, bird did very well for you........ hope she come well for you next time and traps straight away.....good luck.

brilliant best of luck mate, did stormqueen fill eggs this year

yes the great great grandson of stormqueen filled 1 egg and hatched out 4 days ago so another one for the stock loft at 15 years old were chuffed about that as he was on with a diferant hen this year same a r/w hen but off of another hen that was my uncles so next year i will be able to put half brother and sister together so well pleased we can keap the strain all the way down stormqueens lines could not ask for a better strain of extream long distance pigeons

brilliant news glad for you mate

Thats good news and good to see the lines being kept strong

i ended up 1oth section out of 430 birds lost three places becuase she took 12 minute to come in but still very happy she did well for a yearling hen at 416 miles so very happy with results

well done, great result



pat & bill (assassin & vader)

well done john, excellent result.............

Great result John is this a sign of things to come fingers crossed mate

well fingers crossed shes bred for the job for sure first cross so will be interesting

John we all need that bit of luck mate not saying your not capable mate

o yes luck we all need for sure in this game

we certainly do, i,ve not got any at the moment,but still battling on.only had one win 2 seconds and a third so far this year...best result was 2 nd 7th fed and 151st combine out of 12000 plus birds but still not goood enough

talking about luck i havent got any what so ever this season ive been racing my birds as trainners
with the somerset social circle who fly down the south west route down as far as bodmin 74 miles to me
ive lost 2 good 2yr olds both flew 3 NFC races for me last season as far as saintes 380 miles both lost
at races under 74 miles how do you work that one out is it hawks or clashing or wires yearlings are coming
well no problems im racing from yelverton tomorrow then next week with the NFC from poitiers booked two to go so will decide tomorrow after they come back which two will go .

Ray i would not complain on the prizes you have had up to now, it's when you have fled for years and you are still waiting to win a prize, thats when you can say you have no luck mate

Keep at it Ray you time is only round the corner

true don but you know whats its like when the birds are off it gets you down

ray by what i know of you, your not the sort of man who gives up......you love the pigeon hobby/sport and will continue to keep trying.......as don said, your success of other years is just round the corner as one week they will just click (like they did last year) and youll get the wins.
