sorry - but you're wrong - he does all the tests in his own lab - and they take 4 days - you get a written report posted to you he is an avian vet only and only has laboratory facilities - he does not perform surgery I take offence to your implying he's lying - and so would the vet

the vet I use in Thirsk charges about £12 plus £3.50 for swabs (but swabs are done at the clinic) droppings are tested for cocci, worms and salmonella he does postal as well (£59.97 for 3 droppings tests, 3 x 2 swabs (throat and cloaca) 100ml of tonic and 200ml of baycox when I went last month plus written report) excellent value for money - he only does birds (and I think it's about £35 for a post mortem) for details: http://www.sandhillvet.co.uk/

Well done Bruno you must be pleased with that one

Not a very good race returns are pitiful some people haven't got any back yet

Was probably racing from Clermont this morning - strong NE Winds across the channel - returns very (very) poor at the moment

Supposed to take my daughter shopping this morning but she hasn't phoned this afternoon - hopefully clocking birds in from Clermont

Up North Combine are at Clermont - racing today (Friday) 391 miles to me

Thanks Tommy and good luck to all who sent

If they're young birds they might not find their own way home - mine wouldn't - as the buggers aren't flying yet !!

West Durham are at Maidstone- full cloud cover one organisation has liberated there - but the birds failed to clear

Ugh - you don't know where he's been some interesting reading http://www.pigeonracingpigeon.com/2010/03/grains-fuel-and-pigeon-racing-feed-table/ Gordon Chalmers (VET) has written articles on feeding - so put that in your search engine and see what comes up!!

Did you get in touch with owner?

UNC Lillers - birds up at 7.30am (Durham combine Lillers birds up 7.00am) Hope the mist has cleared.......

sent 16 hens to Lillers - 318 miles (my - the cocks have had an easy season...! )

We basketted on Thursday for a combine race from Lillers (318 miles give or take a mile) the club sent 250 - 300 birds, more went to this race than Folkestone 2 weeks ago

If its a GB ring it will have the year of birth (rings are different colour each year - 2010 was blue ) it will have a letter between A & Z and a number consisting of 4 or 5 digits
