The 1,427 young birds and 215 hens entered in the Fougeres Young Bird and Old Hen National  races have arrived safely at Fougeres at 0830 hrs when they were fed and watered. 

  

The Basket Sponsorship was won by Nick Carter and daughter of Bristol. 

 

I will update this site tomorrow with news of liberation.

 

Its a lovely sunny morning in Fougeres and the birds were liberated at 0745hrs into a light SE wind turning Easterly over the channel. Please do not forget to verify your first bird both young birds and old hens. I will update this site with early times and a provisional result as soon as possible. Good luck.
