Morning folks welcome to Dorset and this week’s edition of racing pigeons the Hardy way. pull up a chair as we take a trip along the Jurassic coast and see how the fanciers got on racing on Saturday 13th of June. Which saw the Dorset Federation at Yelverton for the second old bird race of the 2020 season .The birds were liberated at 7:30 am into an East North East wind , it was reported that the birds split into three batches for no apparent reason. let us take a look at the “Hardy Country top ten” for this week

That’s the Hardy Country top ten. Well done to all the prize winners.
Times getting on but before you go let’s stop off at St Leonard’s St Ives and see how their race went. Well what more can I say except , “Dorset’s Leading Lady is living up to her reputation as once again the hard working Mrs. Jenny Mills makes it two in a row taking 1st club ,but also this week 2nd federation timing a staff Van Reet here is what she had to say about this week’s winner: this mischievous Cock kept going in a tree, I persevered and kept shooting it out with my water cannon and it behaves now! So, there you are ladies and gentlemen not only is Jenny an ace fancier she is a “crack shot”! Jenny also takes 4th club , 11th federation doing 1067.577 with a two year old blue cock who is the sire of the first bird, and the mother of the first bird is the same lines as last week’s winner from birds from Derek Spoor. Stuart Laws takes 2nd position with a blue yearling hen doing a velocity of 1079.139 followed in taking 3rd position by a 2 year old check hen doing 1075.105. Well done Stuart.
Its onwards and upwards now as we all get ready to do it all again next week flying from Truro, keep calm and clock em quick!
