SU16 AV 3761 Given into me today. any takers?

Just got my pooled doo from Littlehampton lol

Messaged him on fb

Belongs to Jim Shepherd I will try and contact him

Ayrshire likewise 24 hour delay

fell out my pram laughing at that its so old,lol still funny though.

Just a long shot. Could the meteor showers that were present over the weekend have had anything to do with the birds navigational senses.

Ayrshire 7am Berwick

Kyleakin will know who it belongs too. he is their Fed Secy.

more chance of that being Ayrshire doos from Dunbar I would think

Ayrshire Fed 1546 pigeons liberated at Dunbar 9 am wsw wind

try gumtree as well if you dont mind second hand

Su 16 A 5404 is mine, where are you?

I think this falls into a few categories and not just good or bad Exceptional fanciers: those winning out of turn year in year out regardless of numbers , race conditions , location etc.etc. Good Fanciers: those who,s birds are always in good condition and win more than their share of races etc, nice lofts,with a good grasp of what they are looking for and how to get it Decent Fanciers , the vast majority I feel would fall into this category , as most look after their birds to the best of their ability and knowledge despite having to work and financial restraints etc, Poor fanciers . some of those who despite decades in the sport are still failing to improve on there positions and who,s pigeons you would not want yours beside in a race basket. little or no knowledge of how to go about improving . Bad fanciers. Dirty messy lofts (interiors filthy etc) birds never in condition , and carrying allsorts of illness and disease, I do appreciate that we can all have illness in our lofts from time to time but the failure to recognise it and treat it but still send to races is appalling . There are some of these in many clubs feds etc. Just my views and maybe not nesseccerily right. .

Well done Andy and Archie, but a different race this end of the fed with some members failing to get anything home even up till now and others with hours between arrivals and horrendous losses. sorry thats not meant to deter from a great loft performance.

Maybe if you were to say where you are a local fancier, could help you out

The guy might be on holiday Andy. Speak to Eben he knows him quite well from picking up Ayrshire strays.

Thanks Duncan , wee doo now home and settled.

We are 26 short tonight out of 35 libbed 4.30 at Stonehouse approx 25 miles. 5th toss.

when u get slaughtered every week what else do you expect

Think J Poole of Newmains was 1975 John .

Another 3 Irish birds in Ayrshire at one fancier being repatriated at the weekend back to Ireland.

What makes you think they would end up here?
