These are just the ones we get to know about.... I reckon you'd struggle to go 10-12 miles in Scotland with out passing a new nest. England have less amount of perfect nest sites but still 1000's down there
JohnQuinn Posted June 24, 2012 Report Posted June 24, 2012 There is a pair in the Muirhouse Towers, Motherwell. About a mile straight from my lofts.
andy Burgess Posted June 24, 2012 Report Posted June 24, 2012 thats some list ,be a much shorter one telling us where they arent ,its blanket coverage .many have often said looking around at the ever increasing age of fanciers ,the sport wont last long . i wonder how long until just a few folk are left with a few "old favourites" in an avairy in the garden sit out thinking about when racing pigeons was the highlight of thier days ??

just ask me Posted June 24, 2012 Report Posted June 24, 2012 These are just the ones we get to know about.... I reckon you'd struggle to go 10-12 miles in Scotland with out passing a new nest. England have less amount of perfect nest sites but still 1000's down there everywhere is near enough perfect now they will nest anywhere i seen a pair nest on a rock face about 25 to 30 foot high where there is food they will find a place to nest allthough i do get where your coming from with the landscape that Scotland has
