Had another Hickstead last night 18.45 lib. The temperature had dropped by then and a cool north easterly was blowing them home. My mate said they did fly around for 5 mins before heading home! Got 3 at 7.20, 1 a few minutes later and then four at 7.29. The last two home came at 7.49 which was offically sunset time. I was missing one at loft closure. She hasnt appeared today, nor has my mates missing one. The poor hen that returned with a broken leg and keel damage had to be put down. Tonight my remaining ten are being taken to my mates overnight, for a trainer on a trailer to Chessington 33 miles tomorrow morning. Will train again Thursday morning to beat the heat.

Well done Les 👏 They did well really as the evenings are drawing in now so 6.45 is getting a bit on the late side for a lib !!! I hope the missing birds turn up for you and your mate 🤞 sorry to hear that your poor injured baby had to be put down 😔
That mid week trainer has been quite popular this year and going on Terry Pay's and Danny Porter's performances has paid off too !! Good luck mate, I hope they come well for you Les 🤞🤞

Birds were released at 9.00am. Got three at 9.45, one straight after. Two at 10.00am. Grizzle at 10.10, another grizzle at 10.30 and ninth home at 11.10am. Missing one. I think everyone suffered with returns today as no one gave Terry Pay the thumbs up when they had them home. My mate had 8 missing at 10.00am, now only two. They good news is the hen missing from Mondays toss came home at 4.05pm. Thankfully she is in good health. Birds have had a long cool bath this afternoon. Hot and humid here.

Well done Les 👏👏 I'd say that was a successful trainer, especially as it's the first time they've been in a transporter with other fed pigeons, ideal practice for Bovingdon in just over a weeks time 👍😁 Good job Terry Got them away nice and early considering how hot it got, I hope the missing bird turns up mate. Good to hear the hen from Monday turned up ok 👍😁 All the best
