This year I won the last race from France, 587 miles, with the same bird Meana which won the race last year. I was also the only one in the Federation to compete and time in all the Federation races from 60 miles to 587 miles. My team is made up with tried and tested birds from my old family of Osmans, van Loons, Jan Ardens, Janssens, the Mel Bell lines and some of the top distance lines from Scotland. Winners too numerous to detail, photos of some winning birds on the website. Details to follow.
Occasionally I have birds for sale from my best birds; Visitors are welcome
by appointment.
