We are on the North Wales coast. After the birds had come this morning, we were sitting there and watching batch after batch (20 - 30 in each) coming along the coast, and then when they got to around the Prestatyn area heading out to sea, as if they were heading to cumbria etc. But they did not look like the were racing , they were just plodding along, so if anyone is in cumbria area , maybe even up in scotland would be interested to hear if you had a funny race and where you are racing from. They wouldnt be pigeons heading into North Wales as they were only at 100 miles and were well home before we saw these. just thought i would share this with you!!
