Last week, there were many to very many pigeons everywhere.
However, we noticed that the training flights FLEURUS and BEERSEL were significantly lacking in numbers. We had to call in an additional driver to go with us to Quiévrain and Momignies, while we had to sacrifice another driver to take 25 baskets to Fleurus and 15 baskets to Beersel.
We cannot shake the impression that most pigeons for these flights apparently no longer take these routes, have already taken them, and thus do not return, or that others, usually local companions and pigeon enthusiasts, are training these pigeons over the short distance.
For this reason, we are going to cancel the rest of the scheduled flights FLEURUS and BEERSEL. So no more basketting / releasing in Fleurus and Beersel on Wednesday 18/06/2025 and 25/06/2025, these were the last two flights.
You can still basket, and we will visit everyone for: MOMIGNIES + QUIEVRAIN + VILVOORDE/MERCHTEM according to the agreed program.
If you wish for us NOT to visit anymore on Tuesday evenings or you will not basket at all on Tuesdays, please let us know.
Kind regards,
Johan Bauwens
