Just read this,will hit the lads which are south big style. The British pigeon racing season is at risk from a no deal Brexit, after the EU warned it would impose strict checks on birds crossing the Channel. Every weekend from April to September, thousands of British pigeons travel in convoys of customised loft-lorries to liberation sites in France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. An estimated 16,000 individual birds travel to France alone during the season when weather conditions are safe for channel-crossing on the return flight to the home lofts, hundreds of miles away.
