It probably would have done. The weather just wasn’t any good at the limited times I have. Having said that talking to other members of the club and Phil there have been some very big losses from those training. It seems that birds are being hit by hawks on most training tosses. Most lofts have pigeons in that can’t race at present do to being hawked. Some of the birds I’ve lost I’m not that surprised about. I think that if I had raced them as youngsters and trained them this year I would probably be down to the same sort of numbers that I am now anyway. One member in our club only has 6 pigeons left another fancier I know is down to 7 and we have barely raced over 100 miles yet.
