Well done to Neil Christie on winning the race.

the bops are never far away pal, john

I agree with what John says in the percentage game, you cant have every bird in the loft a winner?? nice thought though, some birds just don't have what it takes and soon disappear, along with the various obstacles the birds encounter while racing & training, and of course the BOP take their share and quite a big share, that's a major problem and unless its not dealt with will only get worse, there has got to be a solution out there , a cull would be the obvious choice of every pigeon fancier in the UK but the RSPB & the people/groups who are involved with raptors will have different opinions , ive been checking my last 3 years losses and they are similar slightly better this year but in many areas of the UK its getting steadily worse, as for how far young birds should be raced?? IMO is personal preference and for me ive no worries with 66 miles through to 251 miles our shortest to longest young bird distances, we have just flown 126 miles the last 2 weeks and birds came well and steadily, im happy with that so will probably stop them, for me it is the education // training that sets them up to be a better bird the following year happy racing folks whats left of it for 2016 John
