One of my best ever pigeons and a legendary long distance pigeon in Scotland, Little Owl ,died this morning aged 15 years. She is the only pigeon ever in the West Region of Scotland to win the coveted Silver Award for 3 times over 600 miles. 2 nd 5 th and 10 west region 11th, 23 rd and 46 th open, Ancenis 606 @miles. In one of those performances she timed at 23.13 hours. Little Owl got her name from this performance as when my wife Linda thought it was an owl she saw in the dark . Little Owl won an Ace pigeon Award. Her grandmother , Peggy, won an Ace Pigeon Award for winning 1 st west Region 5 th open Gold cup Liege 542 miles. Peggy was responsible for over 150 Snfc diplomas herself. Little Owls last year breeding was 2020 and in 2023 her daughter , Kendall, won 1st West Region , 10 th Open Gold cup Alencon and another Ace pigeon Award.  What a pleasure it was having such a wonderful pigeon in my loft and I can’t deny that I had a tear in my eye this morning when I found her.
