Copied from Facebook 7/8/26 The" Helter Skelter" of young bird racing is upon us with Lanarkshire back at one of its favourite race points "Wooler" in Northumberland around 75 miles back into lower Central, Scotland. The weather this week has been very changeable and unpredictable with part of the country continuing with high temperature and other parts receiving heavy rain. But we soldier on with the programme provided by the membership. The numbers were down by 1,300 birds on last years first race entry, showing the issues fanciers are facing with their pigeons. The convoy controlled by Paul Macaloney were released at 10 30 am in a west wind, which is a head wind of the birds flying back into Lanarkshire from the east side on England with heavy showers possible on route. The winning pigeons hit the boards after 1hr 59 minutes for the 77 mile journey. Three pigeons were recorded by Paul and Charlene Macaloney to record 1st,2nd,3rd North section, 1st,2nd,3rd Open federation from 1,531 birds. What can be said that hasn't been said by myself about this fantastic pigeon fanciers. Charlene has been very much hands on under the guidance of Paul and has developed a unique bond with her team. The winners are all G/children of their super new strain out of Miss Golden Blizzard . That's 7 x 1st Open federations in 14 races, setting the standards that new records with every race they compete. Paul being Paul wasn't too happy with the overall team performance and im sure he will be out to rectify that in the coming races. The partnership sent 21 pigeons recording 19 in race time when many struggled with their returns. Well done to Charlene and Paul on another brilliant race.
