The thing about this loft, it is winning with bad management. The birds are putting the racing in to get home, but not trapping at all.
Not from particularly short races either plus I think he mentioned a head wind on that last one

I remember when Anthony Webster use to say the trapping is crap in a lot of continental lofts that he had seen on you tube
I never really bothered to check but he could well be right

Yes Neil, trapping a big problem for some over there. But i would say the same here in some cases.

So i did find some information out, about what family of birds he has. He told me I got those pigeons from Cor de Heijde. He is a clubmember of mine and is a good friend of Jan Hooymans. I have a lot of pigeons from the best pigeons of Team De Hoogh. For their results you can take a look on their webssite.This is one of the best lofts in our provence. Then i also have some pigeons from gebr. Scheele Terneuzen.

I could stand virtually in the door of my cocks on a race day and they'd knock me over to get in
Mike that is the difference in trapping, I told him he needs to work on the trapping. Over in Holland they have the drinker on the loft next to the pad. he is going to work on that next season.
I expect the pad is in the drop board so as soon as they land they are clocked, wouldn’t matter then how long they took to actually go in the loft they have already timed. But landing on the roof of the loft isn’t good. I agree trapping should be much quicker.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.

Yes Andy, on the drop board so already timed in when they enter the loft.
