| Subject: Racing today Sun Jun 26, 2011 8:44 pm | |
| Hi i have not been online for a few weeks but I am racing pigeons in the Algarve .Portugal. Our season here actually finished today with a race from 170 miles that is the shortest race in our Fed here. I did not send to it but in mid week I timed in a bird from Dax international Algarve/Andaluzia (Spain) 1000km or 630 miles to the loft from 3 birds sent.
I am really chuffed as it is the very first time I sent a bird this far since 1976 in the uk to Pau where my bird returned to Blackpool a week later. The weather turned brutal the birds went on Wednesday 15th June and were held over on the Saturday due to bad weather over the pyrenees mountains (released on Sunday at 5,45 am) and the temperatures were in the high 30sC and in Seville 40sC. I do not know he full result yet but it seems our bird is one of only 5 back in racetime to the Algarve and the other birds were on the Spanish border. The brave bird a 3yo hen arrived at 11.32am on day 3 looking and feeling remarkably well after her ordeal. She will now go to the stockloft retired from racing. |

| Thanks Peel Bros, It seems you are having a great season in the club and Fed so well done to you and your birds, it takes some effort and good pigeons . There is nothing like the feeling when the birds reward the effort that you put in and in the case of my bird from Dax she is my little Champion. lol. |
