A very bad flight last weekend. It actually announced itself on Tuesday. I brought the pigeons to Heteren on Tuesday afternoon, 30 kilometer.
At half past two I first released the hens… and a few minutes later the four cocks. No pigeons present when we return home. Normally they are always home for me.
I had to wait almost forty minutes before the hens arrived. The cocks did even worse. They came home one by one. The third cock was the 510, a cock that has the most experience. He was also pigeon champion in the club as a youngster. He didn't come until five o'clock.
From 539 I even lost it. I noticed it while basketing on Friday… that the nose caps of the pigeons were not white enough… and that the eye rims were moist. Here and there even a membrane could be seen.
Unfortunately, my fearful suspicion of a mediocre result became true. Two tail prizes and the 510 not back in the loft until Sunday morning. To the vet on Monday… and let's hope that they will be better again next weekend.
