Geraint Parry Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 We are on the North Wales coast. After the birds had come this morning, we were sitting there and watching batch after batch (20 - 30 in each) coming along the coast, and then when they got to around the Prestatyn area heading out to sea, as if they were heading to cumbria etc. But they did not look like the were racing , they were just plodding along, so if anyone is in cumbria area , maybe even up in scotland would be interested to hear if you had a funny race and where you are racing from. They wouldnt be pigeons heading into North Wales as they were only at 100 miles and were well home before we saw these. just thought i would share this with you!!
REDCHEQHEN Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 But they did not look like the were racing , they were just plodding along! They were pacing themselves - not wanting to over do it with the long fly ahead (evil)

chichichi Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 I expect these birds were the irish birds at talbenny in wales,, they travel up through wales then over to ireland from north wales.. they were up at 8am.. so the times about right.. they were clcoking 4 hours onwards.. so they will be the ones.. returns were good,, but they had a west wind to contend with,, ant
