Well done jim

Seen my first one this morning at Carnwath.

Well done to cammy and sammy.

It’s not always the leaders that get hit it’s just your luck anybody that trains pigeons in twos or threes will know that it’s not always the first ones to get let go that gets hit it can be the last group or the second group that gets it and racing on a Saturday is just the same it’s your DONALD DUCK simple as that but what I will say is I’ve trained my pigeons and a few of my club mates pigeons for a good few years now and the guys that were getting them back hawked from the tossing were mostly pigeons that are unfit and are maybe at the *expletive removed* of the batches and maybe getting picked out they peregrines can take one from the back of the batch and the rest of the doos don’t even know it’s happened.

I try and get them out as often as possible in the off season I was always under the impression that exercise is good for all living things but it becomes impossible when you go to work in the dark and come home in the dark so Saturdays and sundays are the only option in winter . I don’t like my pigeons being locked up for too long it can lead to stress in certain individuals I have a cock that damages his tail feathers by biting into them during winter when locked in and also two of his daughters show the same trait during the winter if locked up for a while I put it down to stress as during the season when they are paired up this behaviour stops by the way these pigeons are my best line at the moment both the hens have scored at the channel I’ve had pigeons 50 year now and this is the first time I’ve had this problem.

There was a partner ship in my club who fed layer pellets and beans and flew very very well infact they were as good as anybody in Lanarkshire at the time up to 250miles.

You don’t need to have national racing to suffer serious losses look at Lanarkshire feds YB programme this year .

No no I e seen ecc.efechan pancake stuff

Could be a hit or miss depending on the winds. lol

Aye because they have peregrine infested hills to come through and the pigeons know that !

your no flying 550 fae the gold cup come on lol

The last good race as fR as I am concerned 2008 from Alencon it was a midday liberation and all the west section positions were won within TWO hours of the first pigeon FOOD FOR THOUGHT regarding midday libs.

Dal can you tell me when the last good race the snfc had from the gold cup??

Ya pig need to get a cloth I’ve spilt my Miller oan the flair lol

Well Iam glad they have a new team on board and I wish them the very best of luck for 2018 .

A good pigeon man disnae Always make a good race controller expletive remove .

Good decision as far as Iam concerned Lanarkshire transporters do the job for a quick run down the road but for the long haul I prefer a good bed of shavings and wicker baskets jmo

I take it that pouters break easy ? I’ve no got any experience with them .

It disnae just affect youngsters it can also affect yearlings ( Fact ) I was told by a good source that it was rife a few weeks ago amoungst the showmen .

If I’ve any left by then lol
