Sorry Killer I don’t understand your question. If your talking about the liberation this is decided by the Belgians in the Internationals as it is them that run it. The birds from the UK are marked here for the BICC. They are then transported to Belgium where they are marked again and rubbered then put onto Belgium transporters.
A further 3 UK birds were recorded today, day 7. These included the furthest recorded pigeon in the international. Mr P.Hodson winning 1st NW section, 33rd open flying 849 miles timed at 6.45am. This pigeon actually beats the 3 birds timed by G M Preece yesterday because of flying nearly 200 miles further. I know some won’t consider this racing but it’s the courage that these birds show that I admire.
Seen that one Andy a very hard time for it 7 days a great bird as well and well deserved place in history
