After going through several options I settled on a little late bred grizzle out of my 2nd Club Perth bird crossed with his Daughter who also flew Perth. He is a 6 year old Crammond/Langstaff pigeon, I didn't start racing him until he was 3 in which time he has been pretty consistent over all distances as has his Daughter (the Dam) who is now a 4 year old, they are both South Road pigeons turned North.
Funny how some birds just click as these two clicked immediately so hopefully I will get them out tomorrow as well.

Why is it though that you always get one Cock bird who insists on taking over two nest boxes So unfortunately I've had to shut that pair back in for now until the others are a bit more confident and willing to fight for their boxes, hopefully it won't take too long

One pair broke their eggs so waiting for them to go back down. The old hen is only sitting one egg, 2 pairs are sitting eggs. 2 other pairs are paired up but haven’t laid.
