lanarkshire lad

George Mennie of Uddingston had a pigeon return from yesterdays race with a note on its leg with a telephone no,it turns out the pigeon flew into the cab of a JCB while the guy was working in it it was being chased by a BOP.It happened in lanark at 11.50 .

Very well done to M Findlay of Ardrossan on winning 2nd open Bovingdon with the SNFC a superb result flying into a very difficult area.

Well done to wee Andy Wales great result on winning first open ylg derby.

Sounds as if the pigeons muscle bound, needs light exercise and light feeding to get the muscles back to working order.

Mostly westerly for sat but north winds for sunday.

well done to m slater also known as the highlander on winning the section in the fed,great stuff.oh the pigeon was bred by w mc donald at the lights on fallside ave.

allan pollards vel is 1324 is that good enough to top the fed.?

Some nice white ones jeams what breed are they?

11 past here in uddingston three guys all in at the same time.

Is it possible your eggs could be double yolked too.

Tam dont you think at this time of the year fanciers have plenty ybs of there own in the nest,so might not be willing to pay heavy prices also this time of the year your feeding bill usually doubles with the ybs training etc so folk might no have as much sheckles in there pouch to buy the ybs.

Sorry to hear that but if its any consolation its happening to fanciers all over the country.

Saw a swallow or house martin today,first of the year.

Message from the orange order,would secret agent mowbray return to base your mission is complete. ;D ;D ;D

craig brown is the man.

Does anyone know a mr clark from Durham Or Newcastle area.I owe him a yb but have lost his address and phone number,i think his first name is steve but not certain.

Looks as if you need to be watching them all the time when there out till they come in.The hen sparrowhawk is very active this time of year.

I dont believe that derek. :-/ :-/ :-/

Hey john if jock allan heard you come away way that you would have got f all eggs. ;D ;D ;D

Timed another one at 05 15 in the morning to win 71st west section. Between the two doos they lifted nearly £300 a good we lift then.1980 :)

Look as if there getting well reared,the best of luck with them.

A wee story about george cambell.The year was 1980 he came to my loft have a look at the doos i was sending to the rennes national,i was 21 at the time and full of enthusiasum.So he went through the doos that i was sending there was seven that i had set up for it. Saying this ones ok, iam no sure about that one bla bla bla.Then he got his eye on this yearling blue hen in the loft and asked about it i said it had scored at worcester this year in the fed but it being a yearling i wisnae considering it .He said to me i would send it its in great order.So after he went away i had a think about what he said and deceided to alter my pool sheet and send it and by the way this pigeon had no preparation for the race. It turned out to be a hard race the doos were up in a north west wind and i timed the ylg blue hen at five to ten on the day to win 39th west section 231st open and that was when there was 7,500 doos at Rennes.So i would say that George Cambell Knew the doos ok.

Biscuit.

Harky.

Mate years ago you sent everything you had to all the yb races and what was left was left.Truth is you didnt lose much until you got to the 200mls mark with the old birds.Its a different ball game these days and there must be reasons for it.
