Pliers for humanely despatching birds

Yes very handy tool wouldn't be without them now

Sad news, condolences to Jocks family

Gutted I'm not available that night. Nigel is a top bloke and what he doesn't know about pigeons isn't worth knowing

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

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.

Wow...My initial towered OLR bird maybe Florida Mexico or Cuba not sure any others in that region...then I looked closer cuba is still 2000 kilometers away ...Mexico and Florida be double that 🫣

Best of luck everyone... some top lofts entered and the birds looked in cracking condition, unfortunately only 6 birds from Ayrshire the disaster we had on Saturday put paid to more entries. Well done to all involved

Ayrshire due to be at Wooler. No chance of racing on Saturday at present due to weather. Sunday looks much better

Belong to my one of my club mates at ardeer I'll send you his number

Ayrshire federation struggling today from Wooler I've only 15/24. Birds been slow all day

Ayrshire 8am 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 🤞

Ayrshire federation at Wooler this weekend. Another poor weekend of weather forecast so hopefully we get a race

Ayrshire federation at Lauder second race of the season had 27/28 within half an hour of my timer with the last bird an hour later. Most members had 90% returns at clocks.

Great race for Ayrshire today well done race team 👏
