david Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 Hi P.charlton ... I have just seen your enquiry about these birds (east anglian)...i can honestly say i have no knowledge of them ..sorry!! It looks like all these professionals have never heard of ron michieson either . Not to worry, Black white flight has sent me a nice offer of a book (Free)of this famous flyer so there will be someone who may respond to your long awaited and non replied post.. DAVID

Spin Cycle who comes on here may know something no i've never heard of them either....i'm intrigued...so i'll make some inquries to
Guest spin cycle Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 WELL....i've got some info but can't gaurentee it...as my friends aren't sure....its almost like 'folklore'. what seems likely is the strain orignated in the lowestoft area and contains many pieds and saddlebacks. one 'route' says that in the days of many libs from lowestoft , local fanciers went down to the transports and collected the eggs and developed the strain from there. this could have been well over 100 years ago perhaps. another is that a lowestoft fancier got pigeons from another fancier who took a lot of pieds from logan and crossed these to local strains. either way they were reputed to be good distance birds. two nice stories either way i 'd be interested to know where you got them from
