Nice to hear

Big thanks Speak soon

Hazelrigg Homing Society secretary is J Young tel: 0191 236 3712 He should be ablle to give you owners details

I've been one of the lucky ones - this is the only bird I had missing from Sundays race one member in my club has 8 missing from 18 sent

Is it an NEHU ring (GF - Gateshead fed) If it is - fed secretary is L. Hann tel: 0191 421 3725

I have had a bird reported by a non fancier at Stonelaws Farm I thought I would give this a shot to see if anyone local can pick up and look after until I can arrange a courier Pretty please

It might have strayed a bit too far - or been bred for a Scottish fancier it was bred by A L Foster (however - only the name is printed in the handbook - not their whereabouts)

could you e-mail the NEHU and they will inform the owner e-mail address: nehu@nehu.co.uk

If you send an email to the RPRA giving the details (pigeon ring number your address and telephone number and that you are a non-fancier - and that the pigeon has been found dead ) they will inform the owner the e-mail address is strays@rpra.org thank you for taking the time to help the bird

It looks like it is from Romania I found this site - but do not know if it will be of any help http://fcpr.ro/ro/asociatii-fcpr/

Could be some doing a mile a minute - South West wind stronger further up the combine

about 59mph is the best I've heard so far (1732ypm)in UNC

Have you got your distances

It has been sunny all day in Redcar

UNC Birds moving to Maidstone - next update 12.30

Next update 9.00am - poor conditions at racepoint

Good Luck Mark but the birds might be thinking 'the grass is greener on the other side'...(of the channel that is - the french side )LOL

Congratulations also to Dave Brierley (fits on here) timing in this morning (don't know the time) from Bourges in only his 2nd old bird season to take 2nd club Oh - and well done to me as well timing in at 9.54.01 this morning with a four year old hen - who was also my first bird back from Clermont 2 weeks ago - and I think she's 4th club this is the third time I've sent to Bourges - and the first hen I've got back (2nd time I've timed in)
