hi i know alec just thought i would see if any more distance lads had changed there thoughts

so no one is having ago at saintes then >

all my yearlings are treat the same with care and training and feeding the ones i have left at the end of the season will be my best and at two year olds will see 550mle plus i only have a small set up so not places to carry birds for 3 years hopping that they will fly longer distance to be disapointed

i agree frank if you want to compete at the distance your yearlings must fly 450mles and be in the club postion or round about

come on lads these arnt the scottish lads who wont take on the english in the N F C SAINTES ;D

it might be chris they are out of there comfort zone its a different type of bird to fly with the N F C we have fanciers who fly well with the up north combine coridoor flying as they put it but there birds would struggle to fly 150/200mles on there own as they are used to flying along one way not pulled all over the counry

if the scottish lads were up for it and our northeast greater distance club go for it we could get a marking station in the north i am putting it forward this year at our agm that we fly it as a club we have indidvals you fly with the N F C but if we join as a club we have 40 members just a thought lads

some times frank when you know you have good birds you have to put them up against the best and its a great chance for the scottish lads to show there birds have it

come on your scottish lads take on the english if the winds right you never know

edwards phone number req urgent can some one help if not which union he flys in they may be able to help thanks ian

i had these pigeons in the 80s when they came the condition of the ybs was bad i phoned him and told him and all he said was sorry but no one else as complained and they were rubbish his birds have not been tested in the basket for years so self selection is nil

hi mate if you are sending birds with biss blood in them they will fly it no problem you just need the prep right which comes different to each bird treat each one as a individal good luck
