Same race but a different route that bird took might be big Tommy Mcdonagh's bird. The last leg of the journey might be him taking the GPS ring home. Really interesting they are all coming different routes. https://skyleader.com.tw/share/20230527ayEg0k

Real issues with marking the birds for the national in England. Hopefully the SNFC take note. Update 26th May 2023 12:30pm We have experienced three major incidents that have caused a delay to the planned schedule for the race from Carentan. The first was an administration error on our part which was resolved relatively easily. The second was a marking station not following the correct procedure by starting marking member’s pigeons without the registered vet being present which in turn caused over a 4 hour delay to the onward journey by the transporter. The third problem arose at the final inspection of the consignment by the senior veterinary official. One marking station had failed to follow the correct procedure of the instructions issued to them and their paperwork was not acceptable to the veterinary official and he issued instructions that the whole consignment from that marking station had to be removed from the transporter before he would be able to sign off the remaining documentation for him to forward to the necessary officials. These instructions have now been followed. The transporter has now been rescheduled for a later sailing today arriving in France on Saturday morning. The decision has been made to liberate on Sunday 28th. At present the pigeons have been held in a secure compound overnight and fed and watered and will shortly be making their way to the ferry port for this evenings crossing. A further update will follow this evening or early Saturday 27th.

No problem glad you got the bird home.

Send me the address I am leaving Milton Keynes just now ask the guy if he has a box.

Where in the midlands is your doo?

Young Kyle down in Scarborough has this one coming tomorrow. I think it might be a Lanarkshire bird.

60 birds from Section E and 26 from F must be the lowest turnout ever. Been horrendous racing into the west for you guys. Seen those GPS tracker maps today it's fighting what is happening to the birds. Lanarkshire will need a degree in geography to work out a route next year.

Drove up from Scarborough just back low cloud but weather was dry and visibility good till Penrith a wee rain shower at Carlisle then visibility was good on the home end. Good luck hope it goes well.

Lanarkshire are at Billericay this weekend pity those doos found in London could get to rounded up and get a lift north.

The Red Arrows will be doing a flypast at Edinburgh tomorrow morning and then heading for Prestwick airport to re fuel. Their route will take them past Carluke (between Law and Carluke) at roughly 11:30 weather permitting.✈ï¸

The red Arrows will be marking 75th anniversary of the ending of the war in Japan VJ day on Saturday 15th with a flypast in Edinburgh,Belfast,Cardiff and London times to be confirmed. Just thought better to give you guys a heads up. Maybe check the red arrows Facebook page for times.

Doos on the way home and will be liberated at uddingston 17.00

Frightened birds going the wrong way then looking for a safer way home. Very interesting pictures.

Aye Tommy some people would prefer the dark ages. Keep working for the members and never forget that and you wont go wrong.

You need to add that new organisation to your list on your bio Tommy. I think Scottish fanciers can thank you and the Lanarkshire fed officials for pushing the SHU into action eventually.

Well done Lanarkshire fed and Tommy hopefully you guys can get some decent races when they start.

Yes some feds doing 2300

Tommy if you get back from Dunbar quick enough on Sunday you can join the thousands of protesters at Glasgow Green. The Scottish government says they cant stop you joining thousands in the park but think you training members pigeons is more dangerous. The Jockdown is over BLM... Big Lanarkshire Matters.

Jamie get down the club with your doos early fill the baskets with your cocks and hens leave drinkers on them in the club house. That will get you a couple of tosses.

It would be different if you had hundreds of guys going to meet up but it's a handful at each club and they should all give 6ft 6in social distance space and wash hands wear a mask everyone knows the drill by now. Guys who dont want to race should go to the club early and fill baskets with there own birds and leave drinkers on them.

Andy you do know that it's the pigeons going to Dunbar and not individual members?? So going by the rules of Nicoliar. Members are staying within the rules of social distancing and the 5 mile is guidance but not law.

Maybe try and get to the channel islands for the gold cup.
