I won’t be paying for a vet and to be honest I think a lot of people will be thinking the same which will definitely result in a big drop in National membership to the extent that in the not so distant future Channel racing into Scotland will be a thing of the past. Jmo
Don’t know about anywhere else but it is impossible to register with a vet in Lanarkshire, even the vet who i have my dogs registered with has told me he will not touch racing pigeons.
Solway got a good race from Coventry 90% returns into Eccelfechan club and thats them racing up the west side of Pennines where it’s supposed to be infested with peregrines. I personally don’t think the kind of losses we are seeing nowadays are all down to birds of prey. Jmo
