2023 RPRA Entries

its shocking when you think about the losses these one lofts are having, it makes you wonder if its not done on purpose to reduce to more manageable numbers ....surely those in charge are not than incompetent.

like colin says, clubs/feds arnt suffering the same volume of losses, so whats going on ?

if they were hopping to see more birds to-day they were disappointed only one bird the whole day now 89 post has been put up birds have been reported over the whole country

new post has been put up on the olr loads of birds have been reported from all parts of England they are trying to get them returned

Maybe put a little light on the matter of just what happens.

If from all parts maybe panic stations may be involved George.

Would think the homing ability could be affected George in those circumstances
but does not explain all the other losses.

agree 40 birds few days earlier from 30mls have asked about these but no answer

When some pigeons are returning from 600 miles George in good time and feds etc; are having reasonable returns there is something very sadly wrong in the OLs.

friend was telling me pride of the potteries only auction the first 100 birds from the final

i see one lofts getting worse and worse each year, the racing is worse and the losses are getting worse, i think a lot of fanciers will eventually stop entering .

not so sure David

OLs are now held in many countries do they have the same problems ?.

Also are there any successful ones here ?;

Regards.

entries were down this year and anyone entering next year after this years debacle must have more money than sense

george if you need a cock bird i had one return about 6 weeks ago that i sold he was 4th open and 9th amalgamation flying extra 100 miles from perth about 330 miles to me and has a hat full of other cards as yb and yearling and not raced after that and he also bred 3rd ace pigeon rpra one loft for the forum syndicate he also bred a bird that would have topped the open but for a bad trap he was 3rd open he is lefebre dhaenen breeding a cheq w/f nice profile not to long cast and not deep keeled ,you can have him if you want as i only keeping my old timers from david he is 2019 bird but no pedigree but who needs that he is proven on the road and the stock loft ,just pay carriage if yer interested ...the fancier who bought him has passed away but he never transferred the bird anyway

yes thanks Darren as it's a cock will arrange a courier for next week pm me your address and phone number

ok george i think he will serve you well with the right hen ,he is from the old lefebre dhaenen lines with stichlebaut in the breeding ...he had not seen freedom for over a year and came from from pembroke west wales coast on his own so obviously a decent bird eh ...i am glad you are having him george i cant think of a better outcome than one of our own having him will pm address now and telephone number

Have no idea how to manipulate the information on Benzing' re OLs George.

Can you find out if other countries are having the same poor returns etc;

It may give some information as to if there is a basic problem in the actual idea.

Good Morning
The weather not the best today so the birds will be loft flown.
The next three days the weather looks promising so we will resume training over these three days.
Hot Spot One will be next week commencing the 14th from Monday onwards and we’re pick a good day weather wise then.
