I once did and clocked it and took 1st place.

I known a few fanciers do the same and win with them remember the once had the verify the club birds as some birds had come out of the tailer at the race site

Went to tommy Rhodes house the winner and he passed a plastin carrier bag which had its winner in and yes it had the wing stamp which the fed did to all the birds left on the transporter

the reason for it was because it landed on the house roof and looked at him to long before he entered the loft but the pigeon won the race by 3 mins

Barker Gits, now there's a blast from the past Dan. Keep on at them mate, come the first hard race and you will be well up the sheet.
It's frustrating Don, when they sit on the roof. It's not that they cost you the race, it's that they encourage other birds to do the same thing. In my loft that's a definate NO NO.
