Mr Yorkie

The lads I know in Hull had good returns last Sunday and by the time the birds met with the UNC, if at all, they should have got their line of flight. The problem is, as us north roaders have always found is that the UNC sometimes act like the secret service and are reluctant to speak about lib times.

Found dead after hawk attack at Knayton near Thirsk

Happy Birthday from Katie, Howard & Shettie! x

The pigeon has been registered to FAZAKERLEY S H S - contact name is Mr George Johnston, 3 Sovereign Road, Croxteth, Liverpool, Merseyside L11 4RA. Tel: 0151 2868395 Thank you so much for taking the time to report the pigeon.

Grand news and thank you!

You're all stars - I'll let Tony our convoyer know. Hope we can return the favour and help you if you have any birds down our way. Thanks again, Katie

Good to hear - our convoyer is at Fraserburgh this weekend if anyone would be heading that way. Thanks for taking her in!

Its from near Hull - could be one of our missing Lerwick birds from the week before last. I've contacted our convoyer who is in that club - please could you let me have your phone number and i'll get the owner to contact you.

Hi Paula, the ring is registered to the National Flying Club. You can find its owner by contacting the royal Pigeon Racing Association. This may help http://www.rpra.org/StrayPigeonReportingGuide/tabid/104/Default.aspx Thank you again.

Hi Paula, We need to know the letter which will appear after GB10 ? and then before the number. We will then be able to let you know where the bird should be heading! Thanks for your help in taking care of the bird.

Batch of five just gone over Thirsk while I wait for our Lerwick birds- could be nehu birds or Scottish birds, looked to be fresh doing at least 50mph

Thanks Kenny - we've got our fingers crossed! Pasta for my lunch to keep me going through the afternoon - will let you know how we get on. Have a lovely Father's Day!

The Yorkshire & Lincs Combine Lerwick pigeons were liberated at 9.40am into a NW wind. Good luck to everyone racing today.

Still got everything crossed for a lib from Lerwick - cloudy on the island so hoping the sun breaks through.

No liberation from Lerwick today for the Yorkshire & Lincolnshire Combine

Fingers crossed! Dad has enough stuff with him to last a month!!!!

Just seen the birdies of the Yorkshire & Lincolnshire Combine off on their way to Lerwick. Seems a good send - good luck to everyone - hope its not windy tomorrow night as Dad and Tony are dreading the ferry crossing!

Its been cold and overcast in North Yorkshire although the South Road birds with the GYA from Billericay (200 miles) have come well. Our north road birds however from Thurso despite having the wind with them are very gappy and lots missing. The pigeons have returned wet so I think there have been more showers about than the weathermen forecast, infact its been 10 times worse than the forecast. People I have spoke to who raced yesterday from Clermont have good returns.

Thirsk - pigeons racing back into Yorkshire & Lincolnshire. Only got 9/24 back - first birds about 11 but they've dried up coming

9/24 from Thurso back to North Yorkshire. Birds are very wet.

Good luck lads - be interested to know what weather has been like with you? We've raced from Thurso and the pigeons are coming home soaking wet so must have hit some showers on route.
