It was a private race, just sent 3 pigeons to Poland (one of my friend was driving there), they rested 2 days in a cage and then back home. Weather wasn't great, very hot + storms, but they made it. Still waiting for 3th one.

Leszek I dont know if this is a wind up? But it takes a brave pigeon to do that 1000 miles

as a single up you might say ? it also takes someone with a great ability to fly birds of this calabre

so let me be one of the first to congradulate you

on what can only be described as fantastic ?? PS hope you dont mind me asking what are the breeding of the birds ie strain,, great flying by any standards

regards peter

One pigeon is 5 years old, another is 4 , last year they (and one another pigeon which is missing this time) flew 600 from this direction (german-poland border, so they had some training from that direction (they had also a few flights from Belgium and Holland in previous years) .

It took about 8=10 days to come home (I was on holiday so not sure when they returned) so it isn't the world record but still they made me happy.
