First bird in the Barcelona international has been timed on the French coast, just 74miles from Dover so there is a chance of a day bird making it across into the UK
It's in Moyenneville, covering a distance of 548miles, timed at 19.48 European time !!
Well done to both fancier and pigeon
That didn't last long lol, another 3 in now, the new leader has flown some 576miles and was timed at 20.05, all 4 in France. I'd be chopping at the bit now if I had birds in the race !!
There are now 22 back, all in France. The fancier currently in 5th, Martin Serge, has clocked flying 576miles, he had 3 together at 20.44

Let's hope so, one fancier timed 4 in 2 minutes

cumbria combine
Guernsey 2, Friday.
Due to bad weather on the channel and south of England the birds are Held Over.
Lets hope it's better for them tomorrow mate
the wind today would certainly have moved them on a bit.
Guernsey 2, the convoying organisation have decided to bring the Guernsey pigeons back to the UK.They are looking for a race from Yeovil on Sunday. This is due to the poor forecast on the channel over the next few days.
How did that go mate, and do they regret that decision ??
Lee and Kevin Buddle won the BICC yesterday from Guernsey doing 2207ypm !!
Looking at the times and returns it looks like they had a decent race.

Good luck to those racing today.
We had a good race yesterday, although a stiff test against that West wind, most birds home by nightfall. Which is ironic when ours would have flown over parts where birds were held over.
