Hello James, Many thanks for reporting my pigeon .This pigeon was racing from Thurles on Friday 22nd July a distance of 80 miles.He was one of my early ones .So on Saturday morning I decided to let the young birds out for a bath and they were only up in the air when a batch of about 500 northern Irish pigeons whipped them all away.There was 58 pigeons in total and I am missing 15 in total at the moment .They have been coming back all day Saturday,Sunday and I even got two back this morning.If you could send me your phone number I will arrange collection of the pigeon and again thank you for taking the time to report this pigeon.
