Wasn’t it Ted Gunn? Ling does fly in Essex the brothers nephew but I think it was Gunn that dayAnthony webster wrote: Wed Oct 22, 2025 7:30 pmWhat type of performance palCHARLTON34 wrote: Wed Oct 22, 2025 7:05 pmisn't this what we should all be focusing on performance, if it hasn't got winner's across several generations it's a big risk to part with your hard earned cash or have I got it wrong, no doubt someone will put me right.MIke Lycett wrote: Wed Oct 22, 2025 5:23 pm You know, if i was racing now the one thing i wouldn’t consider would be the colour
The performances would be paramount, and a pigeons colour and eye (for instance) would have zero influence on me
There's lads winning where birds fly over there loft and fair play but can't see these birds helping flyers who live in bad locations and away from drag of birds ?
Then there's unreal performances
3 I note last couple of yrs a lad here called Nathan bougen went 2nd nrcc on strong east wind flying ro kingslynn and winner was in Nottingham I think this was unreal
Another one was nrcc Fraserburgh 2022 winner was in alford nr Skegness this was super tough race and 2nd open was a loft flying over hundred miles more to Essex right down in Essex this pigeon was unbelievable,
Another one was nrcc Dunbar yb winner was in alford nr Skegness but I'm sure there was a yb raced by man in Essex he's second name was ling this yb flew well over 100 miles probably 120,30 miles more to be near top of open ,,
Now personally I would rather 6 baby's of these birds than 24 from a loft topping feds where they fly over there roof race day ?.
