WulDon Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Posted February 3, 2013 looks like 'Homer' has learnt his lesson now, a wee handful being lost at each stage just indicates the obstacles even at these short training spins!
WulDon Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Posted February 4, 2013 TRAINING 14 is tomorrow... good luck Scotland and all competing! 909 pigeons will be liberated from a place called SAUZAL, which is 53km... this is in the north part of the island, which should let the pigeons gain valuable island knowledge and put them in good steed for the hotspots... tomorrow could be interesting!!

WulDon Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) TRAINING 14 delayed for another day, due to a report of 'Calima' condition! Calima as i believe is when a light wind picks up from the direction of Morocco blowing sand/dust over thus creating an almost slight fog effect, this sand can be seen settling on local vehicles etc on the island. This effects the pigeons visibility and sight makning homing quite difficult, this was obvious in the 2010 final when returns where devastating that day! Edited February 5, 2013 by WulDon
