Welcome.
 My name is Daniel Gathercole but my family & pigeon friends
all call me "Lemmy".
I am 18 years old and live in Norfolk, England
 and have been keeping Fantails for 10 years.

Above you can see me on the far right when I won the  British NPA "Young Fancier of the Year" at Doncaster in December 2003.  On the far left is Mike Richardson with his award for "Master Breeder" and in the middle is John Bragg with his award for "Hall of Fame".
We are all Fantail breeders !!!

Most of my Fantails now are Exhibition Fantails but I do have some Indian Fantails as well.
I specialise mainly in Black Fantails and have won a few trophies with them. It takes a long while to get the birds ready for a show because I have to bath them and lace their tails properly ready for the Judge. I usually go to about 15 Shows each year and I also travel every year with my family to the VDT Show in Germany where there are thousands of pigeons.

I am a member of The British Indian Fantail Club, Indian Fantail Club of America, The Fantail Club and also the NPA here in Great Britain.

In November 2001 I travelled with my family to the Pageant of Pigeons in California. Please click below to see photos from our trip.
