pretty good episode today as far as drama is concerned well you have to watch to the end to see
what happened with the guernsey birds there were two races in one day newbury which was 160 miles
i think and then guernsey which was over 260. i think 266 miles uh really good race and uh pretty
dramatic ending as well so as far as pigeon racing goes nobody told you this when you first start
that how exciting and dramatic and you know but yeah give it a watch anyway uh stick to the end
and if you haven't subscribed please subscribe and share the videos with anybody else that
was into pigeons thanks and unfortunately the um the one that took a bit of a funny turn
after vaccinating it the other day uh that's one we've lost that one um yeah i'm a bit bit uh yeah
disappointed really in that one because uh it was one of the first ones i got from charlie uh
white tip and black foot so we named them stupidly which is not really what you want to be doing so
i think that's a lesson going forward don't name my birds until they've won something i think
um but yeah so so we're down so we've lost four so far that's pretty much 10 percent of the birds
um that i've been given so and i haven't even had a race i haven't even done a training toss yet so
charlie sent 24 birds to guernsey with the yorkshire nottinghamshire derbyshire federation
the in the northern classic and uh they're liberating anytime now
and he also sent a load of birds with the notts south road federation
uh which is our federation uh down to newbury and uh he's hoping they'd be here by 10 o'clock
we're not here but his loft so i'm gonna head over it's clouded over loads
a little blue sky
there look that's a racing pigeon
oh yeah that's one yeah he's on a mission he's going to he's going to bloody.
two of them look another one up there might get one of yours soon it can be
anything there's one there's yours this is yours that's yours charlie wood pigeon god
your eyes are better than mine oh dear i was excited then not a good pigeon a wood pigeon
i missed that bugger.
what time was he on 10 42.
there's two two more
yeah come on come on come on come on come on
here's another one charlie
here he is behind he's just peeled off those three is that up coming up
he's just that one there's just peeled off the three birds that have flown over that way
behind you
come on come on
on come on
what's that [ __ ] is it wasn't very good on his face
46 that's four now
took his wings in look
that's just peeled off that batch
been to charlie's earlier on and watched the birds come back from the newbury race which is not
south road race um not south road federation race and we saw plenty of birds flying over and
some of them peeling off for him so we'll see how he's done later on when we go to the club
um but now it's 20 to two so we're expecting the birds from the
guernsey race which is 266 miles and 80 or 90 miles of that is over the english channel
so i'm going to go back now because they go back to charlie's now because they should be coming in
within the next half hour hour so uh hopefully they'll be all right but he did tell me that
he's accidentally sent a bunch of birds i've only had two races and he only realized when
he checked his numbers on the log when he got back so i think he was meant to send those to newbury
uh he's not sure whether he's throwing those away or not but anyway we'll go back there now and see
how he's gone so charlie's all set up he's got to open the doors and then turn the clocks on
he reckons if he gets a bird around three o'clock is him with a chance but that'd be a good bird
today it's northeasterly northwesterly all the way up from guernsey so have you ever seen such a
competitive 84 year old he loves sydney force them off buddy today well it's one minute to three so
coming around it's coming around come on come on there we go
come on come on come on come on come on
the rotter come on come on
on come on come on come on come on come on
bloody thing
losing vital seconds here it does not want to go in there we go don't do that
don't you guess that yeah keep your back hold it ready
come on come on i knew what school wasn't going in don't you go in there leaving all okay
bloody like that before hmm it's gone next door try and chase it down
look at that 24 three minutes
sun next door's roof
ah
she's got a next door's roof now let's go from roof to roof
just starting next door's roofing
come on come on come on come
oh
there's no interest in coming in has it up just see the amount of
stress that is you wait six and a half hours
nothing you can do is there this miles ahead of anything else
that's flown off it's doing a loop
now he's coming down
how's he going no he's is it just beeping or not
don't go around there because i don't want to scare it off
this is the drama no control over getting to me you just gotta try and encourage them in
i'm never gonna like that people heaven
i don't know i never come undone no i couldn't hear it 23
that was seven minutes seven minutes after it arrived
of all the birds i've seen clock in so far they've all been within like five seconds
none of them how much would last about seven minutes seven minutes
ah it's infuriating isn't it
that was uh second truck but for sweet have you cut yourself on your oh
well there's drama
