THOUSANDS of racing pigeons have failed to home after they were released at various liberations points along the south coast of England including Weymouth last Saturday morning. The birds are normally liberated and usually race home returning in a matter of a few hours back to their lofts across the UK. However, thousands of these well educated and trained athletes of the sky are currently lost and are very slow in returning home. The reason has left pigeon fanciers scratching their heads but it seems it could have been likely due to electrical storms or maybe even solar flares according to expert Lee Fribbins, Editor of the Racing Pigeon Weekly Newspaper.
