Once again the weather was good. Good views with a calm wind from the south. It was a release together with department 10 in 11. In total about 25.000 pigeons.

This cock already raced several top prizes and is a half brother of the 19-1338264. The pigeons came off well and all 30 pigeons were back soon. A nice flight.
