I finally got my work done here and will venture back to Beautiful Merksplas Belgium tomorrow!
I have a new hired hand by the name of Izak Potgeiter living in my house and taking care
of the birds.I have always been worried of a breakin at the lofts even thought I have 8 cameras.

Izak is a real pigeon man and has had some great performances since he took over 5 weeks ago.
On Saturday I will either go to Peter Colijn's or Kees Bosua to watch their National Orleans race
and then still make it back to my loft to watch the birds come from La Sauteraine National a 400
mile race!!!

Last year at my auction at Blackpool, England, Mike Cooney ordered 12 young
birds off my best so he could enter them in this years Europa Classic One Loft Race.
One of them just placed 4th overall at the 160 miles station,just missing first place
by three seconds!!
There were 1700 birds in the race!!!
Way to go Buddy!!
