This week we returned to Appleby, the morning broke with the weather not what everyone was expecting,it was damp grey, with Scottish sma rain...,but by early afternoon it brightened up and the birds were liberated at 12 15hrs in a light west,turning north west on route(On the beaks kind of a race).
With 107 miles to cover, the thought was around the same time as last week,,but there must have been more north in the wind and heavy showers on route as most of the convoy was over the three hour mark and returned with pink wattles, showing they had been through some rough weather.
This weeks winners struggled to achieve last weeks velocity.
Anyway as usual most struggled home throughout the afternoon with a mixed bag for returns ,most missing a good percentage of their entry.
All you hear is the losses sustained down this route ,when others apparently are getting trouble free flights from the east side of the country. I can honestly say I dont think we will ever be back this route! The Scottish Homing Union and RPRA should ban all liberation sites on this route, due to the horrendous returns.
But will this be considered? Give it a couple of months it will all be forgot about.
A race that only seen 1800 federation birds at 100 miles tells its own story.
This years racing has had the biggest negative effect on the federation than any it had followed.
The talk of the town is the outstanding performances from John Short of Caldercruix village who races in Clarkston & Dist.
He is this weeks Open federation winner, following on from a brilliant team performance last week .
The details of last weeks bird. The Sire was bred by Micky Betts and the Dam is a De Rauw Sablon bred by John.
Johns pigeons are in brilliant form and have been in devastating form leaving club members at his wake and topping the federation and recording a brilliant 1,2,3rd Sect,1,2,3rd Open Lanarkshire federation.Top racing at any level.
He is in top form and his favourite racing is still to come,next weeks Federation Open and the Young Bird Nationals.Could be another National winner into Lanarkshire,watch this space! Well done John.
John Short this weeks Open federation winner
