still none back from le mans

well that is the most i ever have sent a pigeon i normaly stick inland.the two channel racers we have had so far they held them over both times.the first at falaise thought i lost all 6 i sent but over 4 days got 5 back,then we sent to le mans held over again i sent 4 and lost the 4.think i going back to inland racing no more channel its the two held overs thats put me of as i lost birds in both.so year i sticking inland as from now.when i move back home i cutting down and only keeping a small team.and i keeping some ring neck doves and some diamond doves they real nice little things.

are some birds too frightened to cross the channel?

What ever you , do not give up.... Look at your management , consider all aspects of health , ask David and Ian a lot of questions, and finaly obtain good pigeons.

horses for courses are these birds you have sent bred for channel if they are then look at your management and preparation if they are not then why send to looose get some tested stock and breed yourself a channel team

all points taken.when i move back home to norwich i will go back to the north road club dont go over water in that club we got a good 400 miles inland from there.thats my kind of racing.i lived in barlby near selby for 5 years now and raced here south.its only 200 to the coast then over water.i dont like channel racing.but anyhow all points taken and noted,

thanks
