8 to pick from David

your not messing abaout colin, 36 miles and coming well ......no messing about from 1 mile away

Good to see someone actually doing something sensible for a change.

Think David thinks same as me the blue near the pied looks like a hen.

You do not need a large team just a few good ones, in particular if you are working.

Just hope matters gives them a fair crack of the whip.


Regards.

kiss of death scenario had a brutal toss here at the weekend etc Colin birds down in the Antarctic regime I suspect. My big hope here for the future ???? turned up tonight on dark looking for a feed    .

good to hear knackered, always nice feeling when the fancied ones make an appearance, lifts your spirits

Just curious Colin actually, falling in love here I'm     with the training aspect of my new electronic clock here etc. So just wondered if you use one there maybe      or perhaps still use one of those dinosaur type models of old as such.

yes electronic clock, still getting my head around the computer side of it for races etc but I like it and makes life a lot easier.

Agree there etc lost the art of record keeping here I'm but all back now thankfully with my new toy here .

The idea is good bad and indifferent tis the way you look at it.

If every fancier used it fine as long as the trapping was regulated properly, ie
timing pad placement.

Better for marking the pigeons.

Not good if fanciers leave the pigeons to clock themselves and not there to see if there are any problems.

Not good to have them at the same time as traditional timers in a race.

Liked to handle my pigeons on returning from a race for varying reasons.

It's introduction was very badly handled.

Lovely birds Barnie

great news colin well done to you and that bird,in picture no1 the blue in the centre another that really stands out to me visually ...they look to ooze class/profile/intelligence... to me anyway...good luck colin keep up the good work

How did the blue turn out to be barnie, I thought a hen.

For a bit of fun lets each just pick one pigeon and see which does the best over all.

Olstrain has a good start, I picked the blue in the first picture on the left of the chequer pied.

Yes blue is a hen misty, 7th back, the BH Darren just picked is nestmate to the pigeon that won and she was 5th back but both not far off the pace 5 mins and 7 mins respectively
