    It would have been easily missed as it wasn't listed with the other Nantes winners.

    It's good that the SNFC are going to have a 600 mile race in 2024.

    Good luck to you in the coming season, you did well last year 👍.

    Cheers

    Brian Donnelly, Dundee.

    Cheers Brian, best of luck for 2024

    I understand from my limited reading that the removable blue plastic ring with no markings on his right leg may indicate he was lost while racing?

    That ring is an electronic chip ring it's used to record it's arrival at its home loft when racing so yes the bird has most likely been lost during a race. The other ring is its life ring with year of birth in this case 2023...the unique number for that year to I'd the individual pigeon and the organisation which the owner is a member in this case WCC that's the interesting part as nobody seems to be able to identify where WCC originates from

    JCN, it is certainly a small world. We hauled our boat out at Ardrossan Christmas 2021 to antifoul. We had spent the pandemic at anchor in the Hebrides.

    Certainly is yes. Fantastic. Would be amazing to be able to trace the owner of the bird to see where it has come from and how on earth it has ended up where it is.

  24. with a terrible forecast for wooler

    Agreed it's a nightmare for the guys to work with. Ayrshire also due at Wooler, I'd imagine our federation would look at dropping back to Lauder again rather than move elsewhere all together if we couldn't get up at Wooler. Saying that at the minute I think Sunday looks like the best of the weekend and we should be fine 🤞
