The bird looked so out of place that I felt sorry for it. “I know what to do” I said. I had seen my veterinarian father in this situation several times. I unzipped my jacket threw it over the bird to blind it swooped it up and released it outside where it shook its head like a wet dog.

Perhaps just as pleasing as being first past the winning post for Roger was the breeding of the winner for the chequer yearling widowhood cock bird has as its parents pigeons that have won first and second open NRCC from Lerwick. It was the first major win for this pigeon but it had flown consistently as a young bird and had been first to the loft in the previous week’s club race. It will says Roger be going to the NRCC’s next race from Perth next week. A Dunbar-Perth double? Now that would be the stuff of which dreams are made.

Can’t get a better example of winners breeding winners and this is comfirmation both for Roger and his rivals of the quality team he is now building.
