Eastbourne 17Th June

[cemetary]

Dont think there will be a big birdage this year with the heavy losses from yesterdays race, last year there was 4243 birds, this year a think they will be lucky ti get 2500 birds.

 

What doo you think.

I know that some send 1st Inland National pigeons back to the 2nd one. Not for me, I have a fresh batch for Eastbourne, but my 4 missing pigeons were destined for the channel, so that is where I believe the main impact will be, in reduced birdage in channel races.

was looking at sending about 6 but after yesterdays disaster

will prob be just the 2 hens i kept back for there

I'm notorious for doubling up, but this year its my Peterborough doos are heading to Eastbourne. Should have a few to choose from come race time. :)

[blaz]

think you might be right the birdage will be well down.

if you can,t get a bird up to doing a race which is about 80 mile more after a 308 or so race in 2 weeks what chance of getting same bird up to doing over 500 in three weeks .

I hope to have 5 or 6 birds at Eastbourne but they will have to put up with some traning first then I will pick the best of them

last year the first race from Newbury had terrible returns for some members and there was still a good entry for Eastbourne, like it has been said above most fanciers will have a seperate team for Eastbourne, don't believe the convoy will go below the 4000 mark.

 

All the best when it comes cem
