Bubwith with the Up North Combine, 1st young bird race 55 miles to me - weather forecast didn't look great so hope it's better than forecast

60 away their not to sit and look at they are racing pigeons after all

Quite right pal 29 away last week 27 away tonight if they have wings fit and healthy they will fly

Why would they be on the darkness and sit at home ?

57/60 with 30 of the 2nd team in for there 1st race with only 4 tosses (2 from the stables at the top of Carluke and 2 with the fed transporter ) 27/30 home so a good result.If yb's are fit and HEALTHY it will be no problem to them no need to run down the road 20 or 30 times with them...

I had 37/38 on the day, one next morning

 

 

We have a new starter in our club who lives 6 doors away from us

He was like a dog with two tails having waited 35 years (and for retirement)

to start racing pigeons - and this was his first race

 

He was so excited - and was lovely to see

He has been so enthusiastic

 

He got one before we did - but it wouldn't trap..........

C'est la vie!

I buy 20 club rings and 20 NFC rings - but seldom fill them.

 

I will send some to One loft races, others to the Breeder/Buyer and keep around 12/16 for myself.

 

These will be sent with the old birds when the come back races arrive and to every young bird race plus if any are left, The NFC young bird national.

 

I still hold that sending with the old birds helps with confidence, experience and reduces stress.
