my best results with same bird were in 2008, the bird is a delbar/busschaert he won 1st club 3rd fed fougeres 336 miles, 1st club 4th fed messac 387 miles, and 3rd cheshire 2 bird fougeres winning me £287 :-) :-) he is a 2007 bird, and he also won 1st club first fed this year 85 miles cheltenham (2284 y.p.m) so he can go fast and steady!! :-) i must add this is my only outstanding bird, he also won as a yb, im sure he would have doubled that tally if he were in someones loft who knew what they were doing :-) I have him earmarked for tarbes 2010 :-/ 698 miles :-)
also was flying natural at the time :-) lost his hen early 2009, he hasnt been the same since, and was injured from nfc race this year, still in top 100 in section. so rested him after that :-)
