For Martyn Rudderfett.

Here's both your birds mate, sadly due to weather and family commitments I ended much much further behind than I anticipated mate.
So sadly I never raced, but I did manage to get them and my others on the transporter with a friend of mine as trainers, they have four trainers up to 150 miles, so they are not going into next year unraced and untrained.
But neither have put a foot wrong and have never even spent a night out.
They are a super pair of birds and will get raced next year as yearlings.
But I will keep you informed, it's just a great pity they wasn't raced as yb's.
To say I'm gutted is an understatement.

Thanks Gaz its nice to have feedback they really do look smashing with you, glad they trained ok I would say they will do well for you next year, sometimes birds do better left to mature. I have always believed we loose our best pigeons as ybs..? great pics It makes the exchange all worth while when you see them later, as they change so much from when they left here.
Thanks again.

No problem Martyn and thank you mate.
I have high hopes for these next year and will keep you updated mate.
They haven't had an easy ride mate, but have adapted to my ways very easily and have come on leaps and bounds.
I would agree mate with many good yb losses.
But these two have done extremely well and am over the moon with them.
Glad you like how they have grown, they will be stunners when they have matured.
Thanks again Martyn.

Credit to you Gaz for putting them through there passes and getting the best out of them just shows the quality of them both

The photos also do them justise quality pigeons fingers crossed for next year

Thanks Don, they will look better when they have finished moulting as the are a bit tatty at the mo around the edges. But you can see the quality in them, the bird that was on my hand eating corn from my mouth in my other avatar was the bird in the second picture.
ya know me Don, I don't pussy foot around um.
These have ticked all the boxes mate for me and every credit to Martyn for breeding and exchanging such an exceptional pair of birds.
Everyone who has visited has commented on the eye of the ch wf as its outstanding, again I'm not an eye person but it really does stand out.
I will try and photograph it next week so ya can see for yourself.
Am looking forward to racing um next season.

As they say Gaz the cream always rises to the top and the cream has risen hey Boss

It certainly does mate.
Hopefully Don, the cream is all that is left in this loft.
