at 750 + it's beyond the luck stage , to get a bird from this distance its the skill of conditioning and good breeding selection , hope you all have a good race |

I visited Danny Staddon this morning to do a report on his recent 1st & 2nd Hants 2B Ch. Club from Falaise, the pigeon that was 2nd is his Palamos timing, looking very well too. It is 100% Lenny Painter bloodlines.

Just a modification to my earlier post, Danny was 1st & 2nd from Lessay,116mls, just shows what a versatile pigeon he has. |

Twas 23 birds last night. Might be wrong but the longest flying bird may be Bristol. It aint been a good 'un but when Mick McGrevy gets one, then I will feel beaten cos his birds have to do over 800 mile. Bugger I'd feel great to beat him and some of the other longer flyers. |

Les there is only one winner, but that welsh bird is without doubt a top pigeon as is the one in Telford. I think we need to look further than the top of the result to see good pigeons. But any pigeon that has flown Palamos or Barcelona is well worth its corn. |
