Great result again Neil, makes all the effort with while, well done mate
Well done to you too Mike, a great hen by the sounds of it, you don't often find many like that, is that all with the same Sire Neil ?? Hopefully the new Cock will be just as good.
Number 28 is a fine looking bird too .

Neil will advise better Trev, but I'm 99.99% sure the hen has bred winners with different partners

Hi Trev
She’s bred most winners with a FVW x soontjen cock picked for me by Shane Langton
His sire is the Bat 7 fed wins in Derbyshire area for Dave waddington he was missing eggs a little so she went with a hereman cock this year
She’s bred with 3 cocks
My pal had 1 last year that was 1st section London combine the only bird in the first 45 open in his section I think about 33rd open he was
Unfortunately 28 was lost at a 83 miles race this year 2 weeks before his brother also a fed winner was lost from 110 miles but I get told it’s not peregrine by certain site members so I say nothing but know myself as Mike says it’s not often healthy experienced winners get lost at them distances unless it’s a accident or bop

Good pigeons are loners Neil, they're stubborn and they do things other birds don't do
That's how they get clear, that's how they win the Fed
Unfortunately, being on your own also makes you vulnerable

When i was in the sport, after letting the youngsters out to fly. I would always look for the one that wanted to fly alone, shooting across the sky away from the flock. This to me was a bird that wanted to fly alone. some may say different.

Hi Neil if that was a reference to my comments about not all being lost to hawks and falcons then that is totally opposite to what you are saying in your response to Trev
