Nice words Allan, but there's a lot better than me at flying distance races, I still prefer the weekly fed racing flying for big bucks in the New Lothian and Pentland Fed up to £1400 a week.

There are many top national and classic flyers spread all over the UK, but the question one has to ask one self is what type of pigeon do you require for a specific distance in certain conditions. Up here in the north east of scotland i know for a fact i'd be wasting my time obtaining stock from lets say the UK rated No.1 flyer if there pigeons were excellent good one day pigeons up to 400 miles, and my ambition is to score at 500 miles.

 

Me personally i have obtained stock from some of the best lofts in scotland who consistently clock pigeons on the winning day from 500 miles, these lofts maybe fly 30-50 miles short of me, and stock from lofts further north of me flying over 600 miles and regularly time early second day. Theory is to establish a team of pigeons who on the right day in the right conditions can make it on the day at 540 miles, should the race be a bit of a grueller then i would then hope that the pigeons carrying the second day 600 miles blood have the noodle to rise early in the morning... easier said than done i know but we all need to start of with some kinda game plan!

 

So getting back to the question, ye fanciers like geoff kirkland etc are UK legends and have great birds, but not for me... its a true saying horses for courses, fanciers like Denis Dall, Jim Doig, Jock King to name a couple who consistently send some times one, two or three birds to 500-600 miles and get them and win national diplomas are that bit exceptional in my book.

 

Great Post Wullie   ;) Got to agree.

so you want to do well in a national and so you go to all these flyers to buy your stock,and hey presto instant success, NOT! one thing a lot of these flyers have in common is the size of teams.i know it does not make any difference (or some would say), most have not just big race teams but massive stock teams. if you buy from these buy from the birds that are breeding the national winners, not the brothers sisters aunts uncles etc, that they want to sell at a good price. pick a small team man who is consistent, always there in every type of race, there are a few about, none of which are mentioned above.research is the key.

okay small team man excelant results wont sell birds nomatter what but will give you them if he has enough mike burton chepstow mr consistant couple nat plus god knows how many fed and club wins family birds we all need an one top bloke
