Excellent performance. Flying wonderfully all season too . Atb

Sad to say it didn't work in time . Couldn't even stand up on its own . If only I'd noticed it earlier! @@$*@!!

Cheers for the advice guys. I will try what you've suggested Tony. Will let you know the outcome in a week. Many thanks.

I've tried a hair band but it can't stand up took it off tonight and it's still got a fair gate. Thinking of making a splint and putting it further up the leg and also bind legs as well ?

I tryed a cable tie . Will see over next few days . Thanks for the reply . Thanks

Any tip on how to correct it's gate ? It's approx 2.5 weeks old ?

That's great they are retuning. Might get few more yet ?

Saddened to hear of the loss of bob Mcdonald.Known country wide for his knowledge in racing pigeons.And a long time member of fraserburgh and district rpc Rip. Condolences to family.

Sorry must have been the sherry and no glasses on ! You know what I mean .

Sorry it went missing from fraserburgh as a yearling.but also won the Dunbar race a few weeks before whenoon still a yearling?

They can't see rings on doos in long grass !@#$$! $/*.! Aye it's illegal to shoot a racing pigeon £ 50 fine if proved.

Few years ago I was handed rings retrieved from a pigeon shoot. One had a phone number. So decides to call .The Man was from canary wharf London and the pigeon was a four year old when shot . It went missing from fraserburgh race after winning the Dunbar race a few weeks before as a yearling.It never left the liberation site ! Wonder how many do the same ? Does prove some can live happily in the wild environment which they had to do since the beginning of time. It's there natural instinct to forage . Wild birds thrive in good years and perish in bad only the fit ones survive.

I've seen many go feral . Living off what ever garden bird feeders the ferals take them to . And out to the country during harvest. I'd definitely say a good number live out their lifes this way .

Was down harbour this morning but lorry's all away for the day. I heard mckays go north from fraserburgh so might get them up start of week eince market opens again .

Few Highland pigeons going around fraserburgh last night and this morning. Got one late on and one early on this morning. Few more flying about unfortunately so is the local sparra hawk !! Does anyone know localfish lorry drivers or north haulage firms who might take them up to wick ?

A didn't do well at wrighting at scool,!!!

Had A hen lost from Newark race last year . Return this week Redest legs I've seen and not a mark on any of the feathering?

I'd sadly say that measured distances from Race point to home loft are by all means a true guide to distance flown . But I often wonder how many miles flown out birds cover. Many who return in this condition. Have in all probability flown a nationa l! I not saying all birds. I've seen lost racers going to bird tables for weeks for a few grains the sparras drop.takes weeks of this kind of feeding to regain enough strength to return home . If they want to ! That is ?

A LOOK AT THE AMOUNTS OF STRAYS ON TODAY'S PAGE SAYS IT ALL!!

Is it still there from Sundays service?

It certainly does chief long my it continue. It's setting a little latter than that with us being farther north .

What times the sun setting in Cumbria lindsay?it's very noticeably getting dark earlier with just few weeks after solstice I read somewhere we loose 3 minutes of daylight ever day after mid summer . Beautiful pictures by the way .

Best o luck stuart 701 miles is a distance Race alright.

Well done that bird .Good stock always shines through.

Cheers guys spoke with owner she was training from Aberdeen this morning . Will be on the fish lorry north in the morning.
