Worth their weight in gold David.

Also not bad at racing pigeons apparently.

Regards.

yes misty pretty good at racing too.....only there second season in our club and mr and mrs reed were highest prize winners for 2022.

they have been racing for years so they obviously know what they are doing, but at the moment there are quite a few decent flyers in the club, and competition for the top spot is very competitive

was the race yesterday David

yes george, held over from day before ...

velocity was a little better lot of good birds lost over weekend one bird 10 nationals another 6 both missing

Good turnout and appears reasonable race.

Well done the winners

Losses are not obviously due to bad pigeons but circumstances we are unaware of so can do nothing about them.

Must be heart breaking to lose very good pigeons from short distances.

Time money and effort is spent investigating where the lost pigeons go, a I have said previously the technology is their to tell you where every pigeon ends up, but the will is lacking, probably commercial based.

Wonder how peel bros are doing hope all is OK
