Derek what's there preparation been just interested?

 

Both pigeons had 1 race only Jim, 260 miles, one arrived at 10pm and the other at 5am.Couldnt have asked for a better prep. No training, just let out at night and they flew for most of 2 hours. Didn't touch them for last 10 days, fed high fat mix. One sent with a 28 day hen yb and sitting 10 day eggs, the other on a 4 day yb.

Realy hope u get them home Del.

Good on you having the bottle to send them, most have a nose bleed at 400!

Its the pigeons having to fly that distance I feel sorry for, I'm sorry, but to me, that's not a race, feel free to criticise

But Del , our doos are used to disasters!

Sad to say that they lost 4 hours of good flying time by late lib. I'm a great believer in giving them all the help they can. - Agreed I don't know yet why such a late lib. Of course the video of the lib weather looked good.

Good luck Del I really hope you time in well ... if only for the Scottish / British birds. Chin up.
