A good fancier with good pigeons living in a good position will beat a good fancier with good pigeons living in a poor position more times than not. On paper the fanciers pigeons in the better position would appear the better of the two but they're not. Never underestimate position in sprint racing.

Now 39/41 No matter how many times I work out their speed I cant make mine any faster

37/41 doing 44mph out of Newark

Full cloud cover, dry but feel as if rain is not to far away

OK here he comes....... you's on the perches fluff yourselves up and look sorry for yourselves......... Ginger you start limping...... Titch you droop one of your wings........ bit of luck he wont send us this week.

Would be helpful if any changes to your race program are posted here cheers Tony

Two from 15mile, two from 20mile and around ten from 45mile before the first race, dropped 1 from 42 & 1 smashed up. Have had three races and have trained 2-3 times a week from 45mile between races and yet to drop a pigeon sending 40 each week.

Hands up who can tell me what has a hazlenut in every bite whoever said squirel $hit go to the back of the class Off Topic? maybe

Read in the Homing World the RPRA are going to issue rings earlier in 2011

Pattacake pattacake bakers man bake me a cake as fast as you can.....

Managed to get a training toss in this morning, full cloud cover now & rain imminent. Yes Wiley, up before a sparrows fart again

Fine morning here with a light s/w wind. Birds trained from 45 mile and all home.

Will be sending 40 bar any hens in egg to Newark 114 miles.

http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/topic/28160-transportation-of-birds/page__hl__crate I believe this is the way forward for y/bird racing.

Tippin it down, cant say we dont need it though.

Hey Bud, thats just about the worst case of watery droppings I've ever seen

I don't think it anything to do with mobile phone/TV/radar or airport signals....why? because I would say London and the surrounding area's are the most densely populated in the UK = more mobiles/ TV's/ airports/defence etc. per sq. mile and our losses are nowhere near that of which I'm reading about on this forum.

Well done Steve, nice one................ or should I say nice one two

40/40 1hr 35mins for 72 mile

Full cloud cover at the mo but looks as if it'll break within the hour.

Youngsters away for a 45 mile trainer then of to mates to feed & water he's pigeons.

40/40 for the 2nd week on the trot. Happy

Full low cloud cover, light s/w wind

I don't think distance matters its the experience of racing that counts for more. Locally everyone I know of that have just trained up their youngsters and not raced them in the year of their birth have dropped them big time as yearling's.
