johno Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 around 18. if you consider since the seventies there have been an extra one each year that makes around 18 from 220. around 9 per cent. why so little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in the hay days of the 50s etc with bigger birdages, its still a very hard area to fly in to.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a start the west section on average sends 25% of the convoy but the law of averages that should take place does not happen this is because of the prevailing west wind, the terrain and a finish for the pigeons in the last 60 miles which whilst tired is one of the most densely populated areas in Europe of Peregrines.
