It was windy that weekend Buster but strong SW. other members of our club had them reported up North.
Rules that out then or maybe went up north then crossed over

I had one in many years ago from France called the number on the ring and the person who I spoke with never even kept pigeons, did report it on there equivelant to RPRA and nothing I know different but results still same

Fortunately the premier 100 club are at Wincanton tomorrow so it has beer put on their transporter for me to pick up in the morning. It’s a nice youngster out of “Steve” and a grizzle hen, both from Buster. He done quite well from the first 2 races before going missing. Now with only 2 more races left after this weekend it will be rested up now and will hopefully do ok next year.
Good to see you getting them back mate, don't remember a grizzle which one is it

GB22B11751. She was a dark grizzle, almost a dark chequer. She was quite a big hen. Unfortunately she was lost from her first race.
I know which one now, thanks mate

Yes Trev it is. I picked one up 3 weeks ago that went into a fancier in Southampton. He went to Stoney Cross last week and has gone to Littlehampton today. Another of our club members also had one brought back by them.
The one I picked up this morning was from someone in Portsmouth. The premier 100 come up quite regularly to Wincanton so those that have them in are able to sort out getting them put on the transporter.
This way of getting birds back does work well and saves a lot of expense.
It is a great money saver, I used to take birds to Penkridge to hand over to Nigel Rigiana (spelling) for him to take down south
