Makes you wonder how a body the size of a pigeon can store enough energy to fly that distance, fair play to them that can do it

[REDCHEQHEN]

Sent to Bourges for the first time in 2008 - 545 miles, sent 2 x 3 year olds cock and hen

 

the 3 year old Wildie cock was 5th club (libbed 13.00 clocked 12.30 next day) not seen the hen since

 

The Wildie this year decided to head south and resides in Morocco LOL !! (Must have thought - not again !!)

[Albear]

Tarbes last year 78th open NFC 556 miles, my second attempt. This year tried Barcelona 708 miles first time sent two including last year's 1st Marmandes 473 mile he might be in Morrocco to! The other cock came back two weeks later he was a winner as well.

As to Tarbes sent three , two back 1st club, 1st section devon & cornwall combine and 18th section nfc.

Hope to race both points again this year!
