The predators are taking their toll, only 4 flyers sent 43 pigeons. Several members have been cleaned out. The falcons are very bad this year.

Head winds are forecast so it will be a bit slower than last week.

Fingers crossed.

Good to hear peace has rained with all.

Turned out it was 3000, one of the pigeons I collected from up the river a couple of weeks before. He was in nice order and had paired up, so I thought he would go alright.
Instead, he's turned left and gone back to Moama! I called the bloke last night and we decided he had better keep the pigeon.
It's the last of the short races this weekend. I am getting short of pigeons, but I handled a few this morning, and they feel good.
We shall see how we go. Easterly wind should help.
