Cheers Jimmy, they certainly looked like they've been through rain, wattles all red and feathers have a definate damp feel to them, though the sun has been trying to break through.

Well done all, and congrats to D Young & Son (basics member WD) their pigeon looks to be at or near top, flying around 440 miles..

What's the distance into Peterhead?

Given the almost non-stop rain, the birds performances have been outstanding.

It was commemorating the thousands of soldiers killed in the First World War battles around the Somme at Ypres, and Passchendale (spelling). Many of them not much older than yourself, Ben.

It may become an annual event. (Hopefully).

and let us never forget that , many pigeons also saved many soldiers lives , and delivered some valuable information [see war pigeons posts] a great gesture by fanciers who entered ,
a good p,r o  should make the best of that ,i,e news etc  as these pigeons also battled in terrible weather to get home
