...'as it happens' vlogs are always the best to watch.. great, honest footage👏👏👌👌

One plus piont lads you've had good returns in the end, You've mentioned the possibility of a underlying health problem although they look good and have been performing really well, as a team as well, could consider a low grade respiratory issue in some birds, may be worth covering, but most likely weather conditions being the culprit, good luck and thanks for sharing 😊👍

Good luck! Hope you have done well!

Thanks again still a good video, dodgy day but hope the result went well and at least most of the birds got back safely if not all ✅

Good luck hope you got a good return Result sheet was kind to you.

South West here near cleethorpes today 80 miles from huntingdon clouds moving rapid

Hope you get them all back mate what strange race it was the same down here on Teesside when there got here came well but were sky high like dots took some getting down like you said seconds cost you on these trapping races

Don't let a freak race dampen the spirits lads, agree with you I'm surprised that race happened at all yesterday with that forecast, look forward to hearing you got them all back, you put a lot of time, money and effort into racing them though so I get it. Must compliment you both on the loft and garden though, really nice for the birds..Great idea putting the trap in the corner too but again as you said you don't know what they had to fly through as not a nice day at all yesterday.. Thanks lads.

Pigeon racing is a funny old game races like this is about getting them back and fighting another day

Good luck lads

Hope you get go returns richy for next week mate it would definitely be devastating now to lose a load before the national

Strange race today Richie… coming from all arts and parts back over… and most people 5/10 missing at tea time

High Guys, surprised your birds were up, the following is not an excuse but maybe a reason. low still cloud, grey sky, not a lot of wild bird movement, everything echoing, never a good day for pigeon racing, only one short! Think you are correct birds slow to clear. chin up guys get them ready for the national. Best of luck 🤞

It can't be a health issue as many fanciers in the UK have reported that they've had a bad race, and a lot of birds returned very or still missing.

A difficult day racing for you both not the prep you want with the bigger races coming up. Chin up m8 a bit disappointing & probably left you & your Dad scratching your heads with this race, regards Dave.

Well at least you've got that stinker out of the way. rather that race than the maidstone national... all the best in the National lads.

Looks like fog or heavy showers on their line hope they all turn up

Right I guess I need to hold our hands up and say that is officially the worst race I can remember us flying . There is a familiar trend looking through the results , some birds left straight away and some birds didn’t and unfortunately we fall into the 2nd category. A full 5 mins behind our fed winner and the first time this season we didn’t win the club. Our mate Dan who I spoke about on the video has been flying fantastic and we just beat him well he had exactly the same race , the truth is we should have been in on the times we thought from the start of the video . The one saving grace is somehow we were only one short when I left at teatime and speaking to others we were very fortunate in that respect . So I guess we draw a line through it and try and best prepare for this weeks national and hope it was just one of them days and there isn’t a underlying problem as they seem well enough in themselves. A hard one to swallow I guess but sometimes you just have to hold your hands up and say we flew a stinker 🤦‍♂️

Let us know the result mate....not a great day for racing, ours going tomorrow

Hope you done ok

sounds like a stinker mate.wait to see if convoyers report says they didn't clear 🤔 if i remember rightly Huntingdon was always a dodgy race point.

Very low cloud hope you do well

Hope you have got the birds back on track for the national good pigeon men good birds all the best Richy and your dad for tomorrow looks like son on the backs all the way home
