Best o' luck Hyacinth. Warwichire birds are as good as any in the world.

Thanks Peter, Ole 1508 is a good pigeon.

 

We may not go up Saturday, we have a cold front moving in from the Pacific, which cause snow at over 4,500 ft., and the birds have to go above that altitude to get over the Ococho Range.

 

We have a different race controller for the State Races and there is no way he'll put the birds up if he is any doubt at all.  May not please some though libbing on Sunday, but the pigeons come first and foremost.
