The release oft he middle distance classic race of Bourges was on Saturday the 26.05.18 at 7 a.m. by nice weather and high temperatures. In total 39.273 birds – 19.063 yearlings and 20.210 old birds.

The fancier Germain De Paepe, with a little super selected collection of racing birds clocked his blue yearling B17-4058355 at 1.02.17 p.m. with a distance from 451,326 km and 1.245,781 min./Meter speed. It should be a top ranking on national base:

The pedigree oft he little yearling is also excellent

The father B08-4243185 bloodline Van Steenlant x Schools De Waele and the mother B11-4162247 an excellent breeding hen from the famouse loft of Eric Brootcoorens.

The biggest impression for me was the matter of fact that the little yearling had to fly 60 km more by high temperatures and south east winds as the 1st national to reach is home loft and was so fast as well.

Of course the happiness was very big at Germain De Paepe, due tot he fact that the number of racing birds are very limited with 5 old bird and 7 yearlings raced on usual widowhood.

Here is pigeons sport just a hobby and not a serious professional challenge.

Amazing-Wings congratulate the sympatic fancier Germain De Paepe for this excellent result
