my birds up at 8.30 from fougeres around 370 to me ,thinking around 8 and half hours but im usually wrong     

a pigeon was clocked from messac after 7 hr 20mins 260 miles into Bristol ric and this looks to be a early one..this might give you some idea as the bird was doing 35 mph also a very good sprint flyer in Bristol took 90 mins to clock from 65 mile ...I would say yer looking at 10 hours at least up there m8 ...good luck ric

Do you really think Bro    there will be such a thing as pigeon racing in 40 years    I have a strange feeling    once us young bucks     fall over    that will be about the finish sadly.

A bit of a circus type       situation Dan I suspect     or then, it may be just part of the learning curve    that we all go through etc.
