lot of welsh birds in holland birds from our club also there.especially from the Ramsgate race.

Often the short channel races don't give the birds a run at the water so when they see the water they follow the coast instead of crossing.

Last year a lot of people didn't get to race over the water so there will be a lot of birds going that have never seen the channel.

phil always improving the blood line,, but we'll see,, a few years ago we had some serious bargains,, now they are mega bucks..lol..

1 year the oldman went to luc van hoeckes,, he was friendly with dai fatstock,, so the oldman had 2 for 40 euros,, you go there now and you will pay £200 a bird..lol... also cyriel denduiver you try to go there and buy breeders,, no chance,, we bought a pair for 100 euros,, they have bred 2 x 1st fed and 2 x 2nd fed,,  you must remember there are also rubbish there,, the thing is to find the diamond in the rough.. lol

 

goodluck all
