10th Ace Pigeon
What a progression from 202nd Ace in 2025 to an outstanding 10th Ace in 2026, topped off by that superb 2nd at 246 miles. The 2026 campaign really shows the quality and ability of this pigeon, particularly when faced with the longer French stages.
A cracking, nicely put-together pigeon — compact, beautifully balanced, extremely tight vented and full of vibrancy in the hand, with a deep yellow eye and now an excellent race record to match. ️
