what an absolute supreme effort these pigeons made , to be timed in after flying approx 750 miles , congratulations to both, the pigeons , and the owners ,

a great help i,b, many thanks,,,,i shall contact the Elgin fancier,

any back yet jay, these things happen ,, but if they get back, their all the better for it,,good luck

have a bird belonging to ELGIN ,,,,UP NORTH , anyone travellling there in the next week by chance [would save the guy the amtrak fare]

hjaltland , an inspiration to others,, need a medal flying way up there,, good luck to you, concerning the lib ,congrats to the gallant birds timed last night, hope theres a decent drop, this morning,,,,,,,,,its no walk in the park that race

two latebreds,,[hopefully] no 1 stock pair at gordon hunters loft sire ,,,b bar off sir colin and lewis mitchell hen [both birds won £5000 each, both 4 national positions including 2cnd open nantes , 6th open rennes,[lewis mitchell hen also won 4 times in fife fed over 500 miles. dam ,,,,,direct daughter[ bought from swillcox ] off nat winner "sunny lea boy" sitting eggs now , not far off hatching

LOVELY BRIGHT MORNING IN THE LOTHIANS ,BRISK WEST WINDS

i thought the programme was quite good ,especialy for non_fanciers ,,ive had a few neighbours ,friends etc, tell me they found it very interesting . im sure if they made a prog, on the war pigeons in relationship with the modern day fanciers , and the races they compete in ,i,e distance , most non fanciers would be amazed , off course it would be handy to mention that the hawks invariably caught some of these pigeons , and allthough many lifes were saved because of our winged heros, many more might have been saved because of the hawks, killing the messenger pigeons carrying the vital messages,,,,,of course these hawks have multiplied in their hundreds as they are protected, but still killing racing pigeons ,maybe flying 600 miles only to be killed maybe a mile from home :-/ :-/ :-/

i won my first trophie in 1958,,the feeling i got as a young lad was fantastic,,,,,,so why take it away from anyone nowadays ,, a trophie to a new starter will keep him in the sport , and make him [or her[ aim for more

yip , sure is sean,, still at the same address sean ??

i spent last year in a 5 star hotel,,,,,,i could see 4 of them through the ceiling ;D ;D ;D

a very good question,,,,in my opinion the exact" menu" should be made known to all the members of the various clubs ,feds,and nationals ,,,,,,,,,well b4 the race

best of luck to all

hope you have to go back to asda alf ;D ;D ;D good luck to all

still think the feds out of order, they make enough money out of the fanciers ,, to at least do the job properly ,,,,,even at that ,, theyll still make money ,s there would be many fanciers phoning up ,,,,,,,,,,,,money for nothing ,, think i would be annoyed as well

she wont sit on the eggs too long , so whenever she was starting to loose interest , id put a big 5 day old yb under it [if she hasnt soft food id keep swapping the young bird for a fresh one i,e put the yb back with the original pair , then give it the other one , this should make the hen keen , but off course it has to be fit and ready for the race,,,,good luck

ive found [mind you different for different birds] an old cock sitting 8 days still feeding a big young one [really its feeding itself] a good position for extreme distance i,e, found a, w, hood cock ideal in certain conditions [weather wise] but safest way is either of them sitting 10 days on eggs

A MR TREVER FINEGAN OF NORTHERN IRELAND PHONED ME ASKING IF THIS WAS MY BIRD ???... ITS NOT [DOUBLE RUBBERED ] BUT MUST HAVE BEEN PURCHASED FROM GRAHAM AND PATTIE IN 2006,COULD THE OWNER PM ME ,,THANKS SU O6 F 5771

BIRD IN KITCHEN :) BROTHER IN LAW KENNY [bUILDER] DOING JOB IN KITCHEN, IN HOUSE IN SOUTH EDINBURGH HANDED IN TO ME A BEAUTIFULL BLUE COCK WHICH WAS FOLLOWING HIM AROUND THE KITCHEN [iF IT COULD ONLY SPEAK ] [bIRD ABSOLUTELY FLOWN OUT AND VERY HUNGRY] NEHU 2006 TEE 6733

yes , this is true,,,sometimes without even looking at the pigeons??? [i.e leir market ,which happened to me and a big Que behind me ] makes you wonder what we bring over ,,,and moreso ,,why

all to do with pigeons is fascinating , some like sprint, some like shows , some like distance,some fancy birds ,,,everyone to theirown cup of tea ,,, but personally to see a pigeon drop after flying 600 miles tops the lot

i really think thats the best way, nature will cure that in no time , i think it looks worse than it is ,,as the bird is bright enough, best of luck

i may be mistaken ,,but i think he held the record many years ago from barcelona to scotland 1,000 miles with lionheart ,, if wrong maybe someone will correct me ,,

no not you rab ;D ;D another rab,,,,rab ;D

lets hope we get word,,she arrives home ,,,good deed gangster
