A Balloch couple have warned fellow pigeon racers to secure their lofts, after seeing all 40 of their birds killed by intruding wildlife.
Irene Morris contacted the Lennox to raise awareness after her husband Bob had awoken last Tuesday to find all of his prized pigeons dead, and a tiny gap chewed at the top of his loft.
She said: “We went outside last Tuesday morning and some animal, we think maybe a pine marten, has chewed through the bars of the loft anAd killed every single one of his 40 pigeons.
