I've reported 3 birds with ets. They were all someone's champion. In each case I got "you can keep the bird but can you send the ring ets ring back"! Tells its own story.
If it was my champion I would gladly get it back, with or without its ring.
I dont have ets, but if I did I would be glad to know whether my pigeon had been in somewhere. I get the feeling when I read these posts the ring is worth more than the pigeon.
And no I dont!
Newbury none sent
Eastbourne 1/1
Alencon none sent
Ypres 6/7
Andrezel 2/2
Falaise none left to send, be a long weekend like Newbury & Alencon watching the results coming in.
