Welcome to Norton View Lofts
 
  
My name is Colin Crowe, firstly I'd like to thank you for visiting my website and hope you will enjoy browsing through my web pages.
I was born and bred in a small village on the outskirts of Edinburgh, where I have settled with my lovely wife and adorable children, who I would like to thank for their never ending support. 
   
I have been involved in pigeon racing for over 25 years, and have been in and around pigeons all my life.  My Father and Grandfather both raced in partnership and on their own when I was younger, both were very successful in those early years.  It gives me great pleasure and satisfaction to continue this great family tradition in pigeon racing, hopefully bringing years of continued success.
   
Being a relatively small back garden fancier, I normally house on average 10 pair of stock birds, 20 pair of racers and between 40 - 45 young birds with each pigeon having to earn their keep.  Over the past three seasons I feel both the consistency and performance of the race team has improved immensely, with some very good results.  I believe this is due to both the introduction of quality stock from three top class fanciers in the UK today, and my stringent management system.
 
Some of the bloodlines that are present in my lofts today include, Gaby Vandenabeele lines...........
 
M & D Evans - Shadow, Golden Gaby, Jester, Carrie, Benetton, Ebony, Solitaire, Rolls Royce, Saffron, Belle, Golden Boy, Band of Gold, Blauwen National, National Girl, Wittenbuik 360, Devon to name just a few.
 
Mrs C. Lycett & Son - Assassin, Pale Rider, Golden Nuts, Cassie, Hillcroft Sensation, Hagrid's Sister, Queen of Diamond Cock, Gold Gem & Obble.
 
G. Warman - Echo, Gold Blend, Senator, Trojan, Aladar, Majestic.
 
Testimonial
Colin first contacted Myrtle Lofts in early 2004, where he decided to order a small selective team of young birds. These youngsters containing some of the very best bloodlines that we had to offer and will cross nicely with the other M & D Evans bloodlines he had already purchased from top fanciers like Mike Lycett from Rugeley & Graeme Warman from Doncaster. He has since returned and taken our advice in purchasing any youngster we have recommended.
We have every confidence that Colin's M & D Evans bloodlines will prove capable of breeding winners at all levels and have no hesitation in recommending them.

I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank the following fanciers who have helped me immensely over the past few years, for firstly providing me with top quality stock, and also for sharing their invaluable knowledge of the sport.
Thanks go to Mark & Dickie Evans, Graeme Warman and Mike Lycett.     
             
Colin.
