Aaaah thanks for that King - I had been looking on Pipa waiting for another bird to ge clocked.
Looks like mine ain't good enough - maybe someone can tell me when the race time closes so I can start knocking down my lofts lol.
Bicc Pau International.
BICC race time is 220 y.p.m. with the exception of Barcelona which shall cease at 160 y.p.m The International closes when 25% of the entry are clocked.Diamond Dave wrote: Sat Jun 20, 2026 4:54 pm Aaaah thanks for that King - I had been looking on Pipa waiting for another bird to ge clocked.

Hi Dave. There are 68 birds home tonight. Don’t put your birds or yourself down. If you think yours aren’t good enough there are 400 other ones in the race from the uk that weren’t good enough. You still have all day tomorrow and probably until around Monday lunchtime to be on the result sheet.

Thanks for the boost Andy. Unfortunately, I don't see there is too much credit in clocking in on the 3rd day especially as there are good birds already in my sectionAndy wrote: Sat Jun 20, 2026 9:37 pm Hi Dave.

I expected mine to be home now. I clocked on the 3rd day last year and was expecting better this time round.
I need to take a step back and think about what to do next but I was joking when I said about knocking my loft down.
I wish I had a pound for every time I've said 'I expected mine to be home' Dave. I'd still clock on the 3rd or 4th day, otherwise you birds have flown for nothing. You learn from every race you send too. And as Andy says there are 400 birds still to arrive home. Hope you get yours back Dave so you can try again.Diamond Dave wrote: Sat Jun 20, 2026 10:24 pmThanks for the boost Andy.
