We always play double widowhood in the first flights and that meant that there 60 pigeons have been basketed. (30 doffers in 30 hens)
'S-Hertogenbosch goes over a distance for our pigeons 135 km. The predictions were such a wind so that the speed around the 80 km per hour would drop. Also, such a wind often does not mean too much good about the course of the flight. Our yearlings in particular will not get it easy. As a young pigeon, these yearlings only had the Natoer last year. Due to the bird flu in July 2024 If we did not participate in the young pigeons, we flee. And at such a short distance with such a wind and a unloading spot that is western, early pigeons are not possible.
In total were in the Noord department 15.242 pigeons in competition, a nice number. were in our own area 3.243 pigeons that came along. The pigeons were released at 09.30 hour.
The 1st pigeon was clocked with us 11.14,21 this was the designated hen 23-9037081. This hen already flew a hen last year as a year -old hen 1e price in the association. Then the pigeons came back pretty well for a first flight. Within 17 minutes he had Reeds 41 back from the 60 and these all had a price.
In the association we started with the 7e place, The first pigeons were on the west side of our association. Jos Luhen from Weerselo went with the honor and had the 1e in 2e place. Followed by the Comb. Old Lashof, Also from Weerselo. We were quite satisfied with the course of this flight. (See results)
This weekend the 2nd Vitesse flight from Tongeren over a distance of almost 200 km.
Good luck all.
