Hexham 295 miles

[DarkPiedCock]

WD Trev. Seems like a batch got out front and the rest had a single toss from 295 miles. I clocked at 8.20 , but after speaking to the secretary decided not to strike off as the first five positions had already been taken. I don't drive so it would of been a hour on the bus to the club and then another hour back. 7/8 had birds on th day. I'm pleased with my hen, as this was her prep race for Elgin 489 miles. So she will get three weeks rest and back on eggs for her final race of the season.

Well done Trev on a very difficult race, hope the rest return safely, well done Les shame about clocks

Well done Les. I know Trev had a few more back today I hope you did too. I’ve had 2 strays in today.

I've not had a stray in for a while now, last year I was inundated with them but have only had a couple this year.

I've had 4 in this week a fantail, 2 tumblers and a unringed young racer, the fantail and 1 tumbler still here every morning I shoo them off but they return every night to roost on traps

I got 4/7. Three yearlings missing.

WD Trev. Reading FB and Pigeon Chat it was a disaster for all. Even 130 mile races were missing over 50%! East wind and heat doesn't go together for pigeon racing.

Our poor birds really did suffer. Weather 1 Pigeons 0
