TRANSPORTER CRASH NR. FLETE

[GROVEHOMER]

I'd like to appeal to fanciers  in the Flete area on behalf of the SW ONE LOFT RACE. As a result of a serious accident on the M3 early today (05/08/07) most of the crates were damaged badly enough to allow the escape of most of the pigeons on board, those that managed to get out did so in a state of panic into the darkness. Incredibly about 80 have returned to the loft some with cuts, bruises and feathers missing,  these birds did this under their own steam. Richy  would be greatful for help in repatriating any of the birds that are still missing, many were injured but will have tried to home and not got very far, so please keep an eye out for birds that have a GREEN ETS RING on, the birds are wing stamped, please phone the no. or contact the SWOLRACE (details on WWW.SWOLRACE.COM) These birds have been through an ordeal and I know Richy will be glad to hear of any birds, even if they are dead so as he can account for them. These birds were in very good condition (approx 80 have homed in horrendous circumstances) so they could be a long way from the accident scene.    MANY THANKS

YOURS IN SPORT, GROVEHOMER (PETER)

It's been very hot this afternoon and the birds have stopped working, hopefully we will see some more of these valiant birds this evening and tomorrow.

Yes Ben,   Everyone's pig sick about it. I'll tell you this much though, I've seen those birds that homed and it got to me a bit...just amazed at how tough they are, it's a sobering sight!  Tony the driver was lucky to escape without serious injury, there's not much left of the truck.

[GROVEHOMER]

About another 8 have returned this evening, all quite close to each other. It's raining here now, so hopefully more will show tomorrow having perhaps getting a drink somewhere.
