Strange thing is I never worried about moulting and flights just gave them all they needed and let nature take it's course, never had any trouble.

Much the same here nature is nature type thing End of the day seen many late bred types over many years, who never dropped a single flight being bred so late down here, beat birds on race day with a full wing & body moult after moulting etc as by the book .

Got the DVL appointment for eye test.

Last time went to local Specsavers ten minutes away, this time they say I have choice of three the nearest 35 miles away.

Local one open tomorrow will have a word with them.

Mad does not explain it.

Regards.

See tragically, another fine example etc Misty I suspect I'm   of the new age of customer service these days, their thinking is you would enjoy somehow, a 70 odd mile round trip apparently in place of a 10 minute local jaunt there as such I suggest. End of the day understand your madness dilemma unfortunately. Pathetic all round I'm   from my perspective here. Especially when one considers my local optometrist here is not 2 minutes away in one direction & when I go in shortly to have my Cataracs done at my local hospital, that's not 2 minutes away in another direction as such here.

Just had a look at the Florida OL.

Final result of the first hard 1 miler.

6735 sent, 1760 yards, good weather conditions a brave 5787 made it home, losses 948.

Just hope they do not send them 5 miles next time and give them a real test.

Regards.

Thanks George, a very nice eye, would look even better if it had a strong light on it to reduce the pupil, suprising the difference it makes.

The smaller and blacker it is the better.

Regards.

this is the hen misty bought from Dave Hawkins

The condition of all your pigeons George are a credit to you.

There are few that do not look the part, but looks ??.

Already said the two of your pigeons I like the best, like a pigeon to look intelligent and not docile, just my way.

Regards.

you know I'm a bit on the dumb side here etc Misty sadly, unfortunately I'm   because as  I read what you say above 5 miles may just be a wee bit too far of a stretch somehow apparently, when considering the welfare of the pigeons involved there aspect .

Cotswold olr has started it's auction reserve bid £100 and now the winning owner has just bid £1600 to buy the bird back after beating 76 birds in the final

have you a link to it george ...?

i google northern premier auctions David

Had a look in, not much doing, think £100 bit cheeky as a starting bid.

Some decent looking pigeons and by all accounts had a rough time.

What happens when a pigeon does not get a bid ?.

will ask

Been having a look at the elimar auctions.

Would snatcb there hands off for a pied cock, £250.

Grandson of pigeon called TECHNO 700 miler.

Reminds me of a stock cock I had, the full brother to Massarella's Bullhead.

That is my kind of pigeon, bred his like.

Bought him from a friend of Massarella, Guy Oxby,

You only need a few like him, was very lucky he clicked
with the first hen I paired him to and never changed the pairing.

Never bred a bad one.

Regards.

!00 pound they are either desperate George I'm or they perhaps live in noddy land     I suggest & still believe in fairies somehow, maybe.

George got me curious here etc Misty board time went surfing type thing like my old days down here    looked up all the birds at auction from the Cotswold races left at the finish. Credit where due on average, not a bad lot by appearances from my end over all but I suspect a wee bit of air brushing may just have occurred there somehow, maybe. End of the day picked out a fancy type for your fancy one above if interested type thing. Impressive pedigree without a doubt by my standards down here. Turns out it was 2nd Fed by the report card on offer there & also would you believe, 2nd Combine also apparently in the end from 50 odd miles     Unfortunately, it just so happens in the end by chance sadly to be a cock bird I'm But then, we both know well I suggest     the way society is these days anything is possible now when playing the mating game as such, as crazy as it all is  .

got pedigree for the hen but think print is too small to post well pleased

Moray firth olr which is in trouble has offered anyone birds free entry next year
but if your bird gets to the final you pay £200 a bird
if you can prove it

Things apparently getting worse by the sounds of it, day by day type thing there George. Next move maybe free chauffer driven service to the door for the birds & owners etc silly enough to go in for that type of rubbish management & thinking.

Florida still loft flying to let the little darlings get over the one miler, believe it was
a tester, tail wind but just gentle.

Cannot understand the mentality of those who enter an event with so many pigeons involved.
