Saturday, June 13, we participated for the first time in 2020 with the full one day long distance team. We basketed 112 pigeons, divided into about 50 hens and 60 cocks. The hens had already had two flights, from Hazeldonk and Etroeugnt. The cocks saw the travel basket for the first time. Niergnies is 233 kilometers for us and at 8:45 the starting signal sounded. On the way, the pigeons faced a southeast wind and strong temperatures. A nice test for the condition
At 10:49 wing to wing a group of 11 pigeons, 5 cocks and 6 hens approached the flap in quick succession.
The pigeons came nicely short and half an hour later the majority of the pigeons were home.
In Region C against 2,986 pigeons we start with: 32-33-34-36-37-40-41-42-43-44-49 etc. We take 83 prizes 1: 4 of the 112 basketted pigeons (74 %).
Our first pigeon was the 901-17, a full brother “New Harry”
Our second pigeon was the 398-17, from “Baron” (Colijn and Fox) x “Laatje 707” (Harry x Laatje 56)
Our second pigeon was the 398-17, from “Baron” (Colijn and Fox) x “Laatje 707” (Harry x Laatje 56).
