Looks like its been a toughie, my mate only got 7 from 24 - not seen any of his yearlings.
How did your birds do King....?
Just txt my mate for info on returns. He sent 24, his 3rd bird home was a yearling of mine, a Black hen (grand-daughter of the black cock on the other thread) she was his first bird from a club race the other week when he sent 50.
He too says it's been harder than he expected. He's 15/24 flying 283 miles.
Well done to the winners, it sounds like that wasn't as easy as the velocities might suggest either.
Our local fanciers were looking quite good until those up North started timing in
Let's hope a few of the missing birds turn up today.
