The Mercian Masters One Loft Race. All birds are housed, trained, and liberated from a single, purpose-built loft in West Midlands — ensuring a completely level playing field for every entrant.

​

From arrival in February through to liberation over the Channel in July, your bird is cared for by our experienced loft manager with professional-grade feed, and health oversight monitored , and progressive training programmes.

​

Across the Midlands and throughout the UK, the McDonough name is always at the forefront of conversations when it comes to pigeons, performances and racing at the highest level.

With Shaun already racing from his own address managing the new The Mercian Masters One Loft Race would have proved too difficult. So, Shaun’s son Callum has stepped forward as Loft Manager.

Callum is a forth-generation pigeon flyer, with years of knowledge and experience passed down from both his Dad and his Grandad. That knowledge, combined with his own passion and ambition, makes him the perfect person to take on the role.

Shaun and his grandad Tony will also be on hand throughout to advise and assist with loft management, health, training and racing.
