Well done Dave. The weather has been terrible for any birds racing any sort of distance over the past week. Your bird done well to keep going.
The CSCFC were at Pau this past weekend. Liberated at 6.30am Friday. By last night only 10 birds had made it home from the 213 entered.
Only 10 birds REPORTED as making it home, I am sure there is more than that. As Dave said he has 2 in his race, that aren't reported as home.
Different race Albert. Dave was the Pau international. The one I’m talking about is last weekends CSCFC. Only 13 birds in race time in the end.
I did say in his race Andy, just to point out, that for a lot of different reasons birds don't get reported as home, example prizes finished in their section. In the case of the CSCFC that is low returns in race time, but I am sure the birds will turn up. Scotland had a channel race at the weekend, with the short flying section filling there prizes, and the rest of the sections struggling, but the extra distance does put the birds down, and after a rest they start turning up after race time. But we don't have any control over the birds when they are out there, and if they want to home they will home. Just want to put a right reflection on pigeon racing, for the non fanciers that might be looking in on the form.
