hi all i went around to alocal fancier called Ginge today and took a couple of pics of the concrete pigeon on top of his loft that a hawk flew strait into and got a bit of a head ache ( ) wen i went around to gingers i was told that it was his good lady that used to paint them and that quite a few local fanciers had bought them in the past they do look realistic Ginge has got some crackin birds at his loft and he has won the channel islands section from as far as palamos and other places such as Bordeaux i will try and attempt a loft report on Ginge and his birds in the near future the last pics are of a young bird that Ginge kindly gave to my two daughters to race i think he said it was from his Jann Aarden family and no dout they will beat me with it

just to give it a broken leg would be enough for it to starve
