Well its been a class first season with my old birds. As some of you will be aware I won my first ever old bird race taking 1st club and 5th fed. After that things have been a bit lean with the birds coming well but being a few mins behind the winners most weeks apart from the channel races which have been gash.

Have sent on average 7 -10 birds a race on natural system against people sending 40 - 60's on widowhood and roundabout. All my birds are yearlings. Lost only 5 birds all season mostly from the channel.

Figured out where I had went wrong with my feeding and sorted it a few weeks ago with one bird just missing out on 10th fed by 2 seconds.

Well this week the birds have excelled themselves and my hard work has paid off.

This weekend won:-

1st club, 1st Fed (beat fed by 2 minutes) (Beat next bird in club by 5 minutes) (Busschaert hen that won first race for me)

3rd Club, (fed pos unknown but in top 10) (Gaby Hen brought off Mike Lycett in 07 to race)

I'd like to thank Davey Barkel and Jim Bambling for their advice. Also like to thank Mike Lycett for the bird that won the third she's been unlucky as has a string of near misses to her credit.

Now the young bird season approaches and I'm on the dark as well as natural this year so I hope I do a bit better than last year where I only got a poxy fourth all YB Season.

Thanks lads best feeling is beating the mob men with their 4 helpers lots of cash and lots of pigeons.

It shows what they know !!!! Its whats in there head what counts mate !!!!
