Today, we have a race from Châlons-en-Champagne, a distance of approximately 336/337 km for us. The pigeons were released together with Section 9, totaling 33,000 birds! Unfortunately, no overall results will be compiled—an incomprehensible decision, but it is what it is. Our section has 16,148 pigeons competing.
At the loft of Will and Falco, 25 pigeons are participating again. At Combinatie Ebben, one more bird than last week is competing—a cock currently housed with the young birds, making a total of 29 entries.
The wind is mostly coming from the southeast. It’s a bit tricky to estimate arrival times, but we expect the first birds around 11:35-11.55 AM.
On this page, you can follow the arrivals along with photos and pedigrees of the pigeons.
