While talking to a fancier the other day; the conversation came up about good pigeons and we spoke about Sinclair Thomson & son winner of 1st & 2nd national in 2 races. We then discussed the 4-year-old blue cock who is a Busschaert/Janssen crossed named ‘Jacko’ raced by (Super) Ally W Robertson of Edinburgh who has now won his SNFC Silver Award. I contacted my good mate Andy Miller of Edinburgh who flies in the same Pentland federation as Ally (Andy is their press officer so knows most members) so he contacted Ally to get in touch with me and Ally supplied me with some great information and he also informed me that Jim Hannah the Scottish photographer had taken his winners photos and had put them on a montage. Ally had been to collect this from Jim, so I contacted Jim and he kindly emailed them to me to go with this column, for which I’m truly grateful. Ally contacted me; and supplied the following information to go with the montages. His main pigeon was named ‘Pedro’ who turned out to be the main stock cock; he is the sire of ‘Jacko’ & ‘Teenie’. The family of pigeons are based on the Busschaert x Janssen’s; crossed with a Jocky Robertson 4th open SNFC Roye winner. ‘Pedro’ won 12th region B 29th open SNFC Bedhampton in 2017; he then won 270th open from SNFC Maidstone and then won 27th region B 92nd open SNFC Buckingham. Then in 2018 he was sent to the SNFC Gold Cup race from Liege and he returned 3 months later covered in lice. Once he was back on his feet and returning to his best condition. Ally entered him into the Pentlandhills Federation Christmas race and he won 1st prize. What a pigeon!!!! How many of us would have done this, not me anyway. So good on you Ally. ‘Jacko’ a blue cock bred in 2019 won 3rd region B 18th open SNFC Eastbourne flying 383 miles. Then in 2020 he also won 1st Pentlandhills federation mid-week race from Peterborough 259 miles winning £1700. In 2022 he won 2nd region B 8th open SNFC Gold Cup Alencon race flying a distance of 534 miles; and he recorded a velocity of 1234 ypm from an entry of 713 birds. In 2023 he was once again to the fore when he won 3rd region B 3rd open SNFC Gold Cup race again from Alencon which had an entry of 801 birds recording a velocity of 1030. A few weeks later he was sent to the SNFC Falaise race with an entry of 558 birds and he was once again to the fore winning 1st region B 6th open flying 505 miles and recorded a velocity of 1195. A daughter of ‘Pedro’ was named ‘Teenie’ she won 1st club 1st Pentlandhills federation race from Ripon with a velocity of 1504; flying a distance of 139 miles from an entry of 1897 birds. She then won 1st club 1st open Pentlandhills federation, 1st region B; 3rd open SNFC Buckingham young bird national; flying a distance of 284 miles and she recorded a velocity of 1057; when competing against 1833 birds. A grandson of ‘Pedro’ when he was paired to ‘Teenie’ was named ‘Jocky’ a chequer cock; who in 2021 won 4th region B 49th open from the SNFC Guernsey national flying 444 miles and he recording a velocity of 724. In 2022 he was to the fore once again when he won 7th region B 30th open SNFC Carentan a distance of 463 miles, recording a velocity of 687. In 2023 he was set up for the SNFC Gold Cup race from Alencon a distance of 534 miles and he won 11th region B 52nd open recording a velocity of 711 ypm. In this same year he was entered into the SNFC Falaise race which had an entry of 558 birds and once again he was to the forefront winning 8th region B 41st open doing a velocity of 832. I think you will agree the above performances and pigeons are very impressive and we take our hats off to Ally. Who must have had these 2 widowhood cocks spot on; as with the rest of his team in outstanding condition this year to win 2 SNFC Silver Awards; Well done, Ally. I would also like to THANK Jim Hannah who has kindly forwarded the 2 montages of Ally’s pigeons to go with this short report, so thank you once again Jim!!!!

Helen Aitken & sons of Woodburn club take the next 4 places with T Nolan & son of Danderhall making up the top 10. Kingdom Racing Pigeon Association Hi Joe, the KRPA were at Harrogate for our 5th young bird race of the season and once again, the weather forecast was a bit hit or miss. With the possibility of a race on Saturday we basketed on Friday night, but on the Saturday, it turned out with heavy showers failing to clear and with a better forecast for Sunday the decision was made to holdover. Sunday was slightly better, but not as good as predicted by the met office. With the line of flight up the east coast all clear with sunny intervals at the time of liberation, and after some deliberation the strings were cut for a 10-00 am. This turned out to be a very difficult race with many Kingdom members finding it hard going. With many members reporting at least half their team missing on the day of the race; with only a few returning the following day. What is the cause of this? Was it the extra night in the baskets? adverse weather conditions enroute? or maybe clashing with north roaders, especially when the race controllers were informed what time the Scottish pigeons were to be liberated. Taking the first 2 positions was St. Serfs Sandy Proctor; his 1st was a chequer hen, then a blue pied hen both being gift birds by Dyke Armour. Gary Hall was 3rd 5th & 6th with his first two being home bred Herman Ceuster blue hens. Chic Dinsdale is in fourth place with a chequer cock that was 2nd to its full brother who topped the Kingdom from Berwick. They are out of his good blue pied hen that scored multiple times from the channel. At Leuchars Eric and Liz Young led the way with a gay pied gift bird from Penman & Grubb out their gay pied cock a winner from the channel five times. Unfortunately, Joe; at the time of press there was no information from Rosyth club. Fife Federation News from Geordie Todd regarding the Harrowgate young bird race flown on the 27th August with the 836 birds liberated at 10-00 into a light west wind.

I had a couple of phone calls after I reported about Fat Eye being found in some federations; with fanciers wishing to know more about this. I have personally not seen this so I looked it up on the internet and these are the following observations. {In the 'Fat Eye' the eye is almost always dry whereas in the eye infected with ornithosis the eye is wet also the fat eye has a tinge of yellow. Young pigeons with the fat eye tend to avoid sunlight. It has also been reported that chloramphenicol eye drops have successfully cleared the problem. It is important to keep some disinfecting agent in the drinking water as the 'fat eye' can spread via the drinking water. In 2017 there was a number of cases reporting youngsters with ‘Fat Eye’ in Germany. The eye lids are inflamed and the lower eye lid often hangs down a bit. It almost looks as though the pigeon is squinting. The typical Fat Eye/Herpes Eyes are almost always ‘DRY’, in contrast to the ‘Wet’ ornithosis eyes. Sometimes the eyes have a slightly yellow tinge and some bristling. Young pigeons with Fat Eye avoid the sunlight and blink when exposed to direct sunlight. Some close their eyes completely. It is inappropriate to expose the youngsters to additional light at this time. If the youngsters show these symptoms there will be losses in training and racing. Mortality does not occur in youngsters with Fat Eye, unlike in youngsters with yellow herpes deposits in the beak. Incidentally, the Paramyxo- Herpes vaccine is not effective against Fat Eye at the clinical stage, rather special eye drops and an injection with ‘Orni 1’. Alternatively, you can choose not to treat the youngsters but this can take weeks for the outbreak to run its course. Over the last few years, Fat Eye has been seen more frequently in Belgium, Netherlands Germany and the UK. I have just received a phone call from Nigel Llewelln regarding the above subject and Nigel informs me that fanciers MUST look out for a small MARK on the eyelid of their birds. This mark is at the bottom of the eye and this is the start of Fat Eye. Nigel informs me that if fanciers use Karidox 100mg/ml oral solution this will definitely work. If you use this treatment for 5 days the Fat Eye will be gone. He also told me that it would not do fanciers any harm to use this for a 31-day treatment over the winter months, this longer period of treatment will help clear birds who are ‘carriers’ and all your birds will be ‘sound as a pound’ after this time of treatment; as this definitely works. My thanks to Nigel and it was lovely to talk to him once again as it is a while since we did so. I hope this of some interest and support to help readers of the column.
