Right guys , I didn’t even realise our first bird flew back up , I thought it had trapped so that’s frustrating. We win the club but as expected on a fast day we were 5th fed , I counted the seconds from seeing the bird to it hitting the trap and it’s 30 seconds but because it went back up it’s slightly more than that lost , if it rocketed in it could have been 2nd fed but there is a bird in our federation 1min + clear in the whole section which is quite remarkable. South Shields as a federation has flown great in the section around 4000 birds so even though we were 5th fed I suspect we might be in the top 12 of the section which I’m happy about . Head wind next week thank god and only 5 days till the race and then the week after the first national . Full returns today 👍

Well done 👏 👍 loved the video as always. I must admit I thought it had gone back up but rewinded it and convinced myself it was a trapping bird 🙈 Never mind that good bird would have won anyhow. Likevyou can't wait for the first headwind and a bit of a test. Keep up the good work 👌

Loved the video guys, those birds trap brilliantly. I helped my friend with his pigeons when I was young, it doesn't leave you, I 22:46 picked up a Red & white pied in Jersey 20 plus years ago ringed S Nordstrom & Son Bradford !! Also fed a blue and white pied on the rocks in Tenerife Las Americas( Spanish bird) ( have got photos) just taking water from my hand. When I was a Kid 40 years agp a blue and white pied would fly from the roof of a council house onto my hand so I Do know a bit about pigeons !!

awful mate, and I know it’s good for getting them home and experience but they’re not getting the hours on the wing they need for a Maidstone head wind if it materialises.That happens and done of these yearlings will not face it.
@alibrospigeons83172 ай бұрын
@@jock2109I couldn’t agree more , see we’ve never been in a situation like this before , normally we would have some top older birds but as I said last season it’s knocked us back 2 years as all we have is yearlings this year , as much as we need a head wind it’s extremely difficult to win them with yearlings . Next week looks like a head wind so we will know a lot more after that race as to exactly where we are at but I’m thinking a tail wind at the national might be our best hope as it’s a 100 mile jump
