yes

i think ally forrest(ratho) has some of his best and is winning with them maybe round o can confirm that

[Guest IB]

His was one of the birds I looked at at Blackpool a few years ago, excellent record at 700 miles. Passed it over for 3 others, none of which did anything / left anything, obvious bad choice on my part.

 

Also modelled my loft on his from photos in BHW : end on approach where birds main entrance was at gable end, and internal layout to suit that.

I have had quite a few from wilf over the years,  nice pigeons.

 

have had them out of endurance pride of wales and his other top birds.

 

not cheap but nothing like a £1000 a pair

[les]

yes he does sell birds ,but just remember ,he has put a whole life time into these birds ,the rubbish is soon lost because of the way he trains and races them ,he is a very genuine person ,and a gent ,my advice would be to ask if he has a pair out of his stock loft that he might consider selling ,i know that there might just be a pair or two for sale at the moment ,because he is introducing a few birds that have done well for him into the stock loft ,so he will have to make room ,he will keep winners racing  untill he is happy it was not just a one off ,if you need a contact number PM  me .ATB les.

rab im only telling you what i got told but then again the guy that bought them said to wilf i want that one and that one ,he picked them out and wilf reluctantly sold them .ps the guy that bought them has now bought some race horses.  so if he said to wilf how much is that (dogie in the window) and wilf said ? then thats how much he paid . money was no object

[Guest stb-]

no im not saying he didnt pay that,, it was for the guy who wanted to buy yb from wilf

 

im just saying that he dosent charge £1000  a pair for squeakers , prob about £100+

 

from his stock loft, didnt want to put the guy off ;D ;D

I have visited Wilf's place twice a few years ago. It is a beautiful place. The down side was the number of Goshawks around there. They are a really bad problem for Wilf.
