Perpignan gave us the same weather conditions as Barcelona and Tarbes – north east headwind and hot temperatures. We were very pleased to see our “Jubilee Barcelona” arrive to take 4th National Perpignan 3 weeks after his Barcelona victory. “Jubilee Barcelona” successfully scored in both the International results for Barcelona 16,897 pigeons and Perpignan 12,094 pigeons.

National Positions: 4,6,10,14,15,18,21,22,28,34,38,39,41,49,53,55,57/ 331 pigeons 596 Miles/959KM

23 Minutes later our hen 599 came to complete her third International race of the 2022 season, this year she came on the day from Bordeaux our third arrival at 17:30 (ETS failure), 19th National Tarbes and now 6th National Perpignan a super set of results over a 6 week period for herself, both her grandfathers were great performance pigeons for us  “Jack Jones” 1st National Perpignan and “Wiggins Son” 2nd National Perpignan as a yearling (Latebred) after this performance from “Wiggins Son” we paired him to one of our best breeding hens 168 “Half Sister Wiggins” we placed a late bred from this pair straight into our breeding loft GB17D10290 which is now the father to 599.

Our third pigeon is a Son of our “Jack Jones” he managed 10th National Perpignan after being 2nd National from Agen 4 weeks ago. He is also related to our “Jubilee Barcelona” on his mother’s side through a direct Raymund Hermes hen. We are happy with the teams performance from Perpignan and would like to mention one of our 2020 Late bred males (hatched at the end of September)  GB20F27696 he has also managed 3 International races this year, he came excellently from Bordeaux being our 2nd arrival at 16:30 on the day (ETS failure) 18th National Tarbes and now 21st National Perpignan – some going for a yearling, he is 75% Bernd Morsnowski blood and 25% Jack Jones/Wiggins line . His sire was also a great performance pigeon for us GB17D10251 being a grandson to “De Blauwe 212” 1st National Olympiade Marathon 2013 for Bernd Morsnowski.
