The pigeons were changed yesterday 20 over 9 unloaded in Heusden Zolder for a flight almost ahead of us 139 kilometer. There was a showery weather and a north to northwest wind of approx 25 kilometers per hour. Our first pigeon arrived at 11 o'clock 22.06 and made a speed of 1142 meter per seconde.
This hen, of 310, is a direct Eijerkamp. Her father is Son Tramantane from Willem van Bruijn and the mother is Smokey Checker, an Eijerkamp van Loon, times the new Olympiad of Herenmans – Ceusters. The pigeons followed more quickly than last week and the last davin was gone 11 o'clock 58 home again.
Both in Association, Circle and Region Northeast of department 8 played 7 of the 10 hens their prize. From 4 Mieke's cocks had a little more difficulty with the first flight. Her first cock died 11 o'clock 40 and the last to 12 o'clock 57.
In any case, the pigeons followed suit faster than last week and that is a plus. So now on to the next flight.
