Gift bird David, I gave a new starter a pair that bred him the only bird that got back in his Combine in race time, over 500 miles and he kindly gifted this back out them. something scattered these babies yesterday and I thought he was gone but he worked his way home, first time up.

grizzles always seem strong birds to me, dont know why buy they do ........

Always something going on etc Barnie with the birds I'm   to upset things as such in a pigeon sense. Trying to get my last one in on dark of the missing brigade last night after 3 days out with the lights on & my Chinese mate next door     starts his mower up to cut his lawn for some unknown reason. Nearly did a Putin act here but decided he had more mates than I could muster in the end .

Love a grissle, funny enough we have about 6 this year

Mob flyer about      I have only 2 here etc Ray & truth be told I really was sweating on one as such when some  decided to have a night out recently here sleeping under the stars. Now     we all know, things happen for a reason as such I suspect. some times thou I've found     finding the reason can be some what baffling to find at times. Always breed roughly 50/50 here when breeding on average. 14 birds here spent a few nights out recently being their first time out of the loft, all home fortunately after 3 days, 13 hens     & one cock     & so I ask the question     why, when it should maybe have been a 50/50 type thing on average I somehow suspect.      

i dont really see that many grizzle or mealy winners, is it simply because there are more blues and chequers sent to races

He looks a different pigeon now, few months down the line.......

very nice bird just give 3 of Morgans grizzles away he only has the one now

what a difference a moult makes eh

nice looking bird that colin .........

Very nice looking pigeon will be even better looking when the moalt is complete.

Regrads,

will you be racing in 2023 colin .......?

hopefully at some point David, surgery planned possibly March so might not get the OB's raced, or may jump them we'll have to see

i hope all goes well for you colin .....
