Attention pigeon enthusiasts! Today we have a story that will make your heart race and give you hope that great achievements are possible, no matter the scale of your hobby. Hans Munstege, a passionate pigeon fancier from Deventer, has achieved an incredible feat with his small loft in the recent race from Entroeungt. This is a story about passion, perseverance, and the undeniable bond between a man and his pigeons.

The Winning Moment

Among them, Harry Vanwersch's pigeons embarked on a journey that would span 408 kilometers, flying from Lorris to Harry’s lofts in Wittem, a picturesque hamlet in the Dutch municipality of Gulpen-Wittem. Little did anyone know, this race would culminate in a stunning triumph for Harry and his exceptional pigeons.

At exactly 12:20:24, the NL.21-1423601 pigeon, Harry's second nominated bird, landed gracefully back at the loft. Its incredible speed of 1481 meters per minute not only secured the first place but also outpaced the second-place pigeon by an astonishing 18 meters per minute.
