The new young bird season has dawned for Lanarkshire members who voted to race down the east coast of the country.This was to try and consolidate their young bird team for the following season.
The members sent 4,000 birds and 12 Fauldhouse club baskets to Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland. The distance is around 55 to 60 miles to most in Lanarkshire. The birds were away at 09:30am in a light west wind.The winning pigeon reached the 1200s down into Cambuslang onthe west side of the federation.
1st & 2nd West section 1st & 2nd Open 4,000 birds is Jamie Glachin of Cambuslang club who has just recently returned to the sport.This is a well welcomed return and what a start. Jamies winner is a blue pied hen bred by Jim Hannah of Blantyre from his double federation winning hen .J Green and son were 1st west section this year with a late bred hen ,winning by thirteen minutes .She is a sister to Jamies winner bred again by Jim Hannah. His second bird is bred from Wullie Millen birds,son of 720 & a daughter of the golden couple.Most of Jamies stock is Wullie Millen stock birds .Well done
Jamie would like to thank Karen & Arthur Morrison,Billy Shields,Tommy McDonagh for all their help to allow me to fly pigeons.
Jamie what a start!
It turned out to be a cracking start for the federation with the youngsters tumbling in to their lofts.Long may it continue.Remember last years disaster from the first race!
Thanks to all the clubs who send me information,disappointingly most dont send anything.Its a hard job if you haven't got the tools!
