Broken cloud. South east wind Dry at the minute

My clubmate Les Smiths his Number 01576300424

maybe 16, no channel birds this week

Will be up this weekend with disc gareth. Would lanarkshires be diffo cos the birds are not coming from the south?

Interesting read this result. Peter murphy has a great team of older pigeons and not a lot of yearlings throughout which os unusual for 80miles but maybe not for an east wind? Well done all

Latebreds are fickle. Ye get them or ye dinny but the percentages are not great in my loft. I have a two yr old mealy that will hopefully get over the pond but some weeks last year, especially atbthe start, he made mistakes.

My club race for a fiver a week. Best flyers go for glory lol

Sent the most old yins ever and got 23/25 missing a 2yr old latebred at its first race and a yearling whos parentage will be questioned soon

No even been to eaglesfield yet lol

Off to Derby the morra for a week as my lassie is captaining Scotland against England and the other home nations in the annual tournament. Dont think I will manage a loft vivit tho lol. Very proud of her.

Anybody that has the late john carmichael pigeons will undoutedly have some bricoux in them. I remember as a boy asking why the dark cheqs had been brought into kirkpatrick family mainly of reds with a few mealies and he said to keep the distance in the blood butvalso to keep the depth in the red colour that he felt was being diluted as his family became closer bred

Gareth, need tae ask a question so if ye could empty that box it would be good
