UPDATE 01/07/24

July 1st, 2024

All is looking well for the first trainer tomorrow morning; we will be basketing the birds once it’s gone dark, in a peaceful environment to  keep stress levels down.

I have put all of the dates and places for the training program and the races on Benzing. We will hand mark the pigeons for Trainers 1, 11, 22, 24, 26, 29 and the final trainer before the final.

All being well, the birds will clock in live as they return tomorrow. They will be released in batches of around 50; the first batch should go around the 10am mark, but we will be waiting for the best possible conditions. I’ll wait for the first batch to clear before releasing another batch, and at least the first batch will be videoed. You can understand that with such a gap between batches, it’s unrealistic to video the whole thing, as I’m concentrating on the pigeons rather than the video.

Fingers crossed for a nice clean trainer with maximum returns.
