One Loft Updates

The 2nd Hotspot in the Pigeon Pixels took place on Friday 25th July 2014 and our 3 entries once again did well. We finished 5th, 16th and 26th from the 44 sent. All 3 are from our top pair here at Rasbull Lofts and hopefully they will continue to secure decent performances throughout the series. So far 05301 has been 4th, 05302 has been 5th and 05306 has been 5th in the 2 races that have been held! This pair are proving to be capable of producing very good birds!

Our entries in the Welsh Classic Challenge are progressing very nicely and all 5 remain in the lofts of B.Williams and Son (double BICC winners)! Racing is beginning very shortly so will be interesting to see how our birds perform. We have our top youngsters down their this year from our 3 best pairs so fingers crossed they will perform very well.

We will continue to update this page with news as and when it happens! All news is also featured on Pigeon Pixels forum. Please visit www.Pigeonpixels.co.uk

We will be monitoring the market from now until December to ensure we obtain at least one very good addition to our stock loft. The new policy is going very well but you can't stand still and need to continue introducing outstanding birds to the loft as they become available.

Great start for our entries in the Pigeon Pixels One Loft Race. Our 3 entries finished 4th, 5th and 19th Hotspot with 44 birds sent from 103 miles. Great start for the birds who are all off my number 1 pair which I have high hopes for!
