i have reported a few this year.i am the same as you i would not make any fancier send for their bird if thay did not want it.have had 2 reported via Steven aitchison of eyemouth (THANKS) one i got back via red grizz on hear going down for it .the other one is still at Stevens he said don,t send for it he would bring it up to yb marking on Friday. so both times saving me cost of courior. it makes a big difference when it is good pigeon men that get your stray,s in.
