Birds are off at 7 am south west wind so hopefully if this home end clears up we have a chance of day pigeons

Forecast looks ok apart from the odd heavy shower around Cheshire and Yorkshire in the late afternoon, winds are favorable, that it may well be possible to get them in the shift.

 

Wish you and your dad all the very best.

 

cheers

Gareth

Good luck to you and your dad Jamie.

 

Fingers crossed for you

The NFC already have a Scottish section

 

Section M is a complete joke and an embarrassment.

 

We've been members of the NFC for years and were in section L, in the mix amongst many greats like Hilson, Impett etc then along come the tin soldier brigade and formed section M , no way am I sending to a NFC race to fly on our own, sooner it's returned to section L the better.... which may happen soon

Just waiting for the full Early Times list to appear on BICC website but I know of one fancier on the south coast who was doing around 1570ypm and expects others to be faster. MNFC doing 1800ypm out of Vire so that would be expected.

Don't know what it's like in Elphinstone but it's black and chucking it down in Bonnyrigg. Hope your basking in sunshine Jamie.

I'm sitting on the step of the patio, a few black clouds around and very dull to the south east which is where the birds are !

[midnight_son]

Pouring now

Just looked at the satellite image and it's clear to the border. Best of luck, it would be a great way to end your excellent season

[midnight_son]

Nothing to report tonight, slightly disappointing but not all that surprising, all 3 of these were 2nd afternoon at Alencon and not averse to a night out. We'll see how they do in the morning.

Success ! Timed at 5.28 and 6.57, two hens. First one direct daughter of Midnight Son when paired to the dam of the hen who has been 6th open and 14th open Niort and Ancenis last couple of years. She is very fresh so got close last night, probably just hit some downpours in the last 120 miles or so to slow her up. Happy enough with that, not disgraced anyway and better returns proportionately than the YBs managed out of 60 miles on Saturday.

[Guest Gareth Rankin]

:emoticon-0137-clapping: great effort by both your pigeons Jamie, well done.

[Delboy]

good stuff R & J

[midnight_son]

Thanks for kind words. Hard to know what has been achieved with so little to compare against. I'm sure if it had been a SNFC race with 1500 birds and a bit more company to keep them going there would have been quite a few on the night.

Well done mate top flying
