GB06L27828 ‘Matador’ a son of ‘Drum x ‘Agent Starling’ the sire of our first bird this week…

*

Saturday 18th May saw the Sens race take place a distance of around 440 km to Nieuwendijk. It was a very tough race with big gaps in arrivals and many losses on the day. We had 18 out of 22 entries home by Sunday morning with 10 prizes in the Combine including a few early ones, however not early enough. Many fanciers in the Brabant area are reporting very heavy losses with no obvious explanation.

This week also showed us the difficulties in having such a small team. Due to a really bad young bird training toss last year we ended up with few experienced yearlings in the team this year and we could start the season with only 24 racers in total.

We were looking forward to the Bourges NPO race next week, but will now not take any chances with the birds if they have not sufficiently recovered as we have a few other good one day long distance races to aim for in a few weeks.

Club 335 birds…9th,14th,15th,17th
