Dai Evans - Tumley Lofts

Home of the Finest Dai Evans Collection in the World

David Evans of Gelligaer is a true gentleman of the sport who lives and breathes pigeons. For sheer consistency over a forty year period he has few if any equals. In the famous Littlehampton National report, David clocked eleven magnificent pigeons in eleven minutes, the first being the overall National winner, Little.

In his last season of racing in 2012, Dave won in the Welsh South East National the Three Longest Old Bird Race Averages, All Old Bird Race Averages, Longest Old Bird and Young Bird Race Averages, All National Race Averages, and was runner up for the Gold Cup. Unfortunately Dave Evans had to give up his pigeons in September 2014 due to health reasons.

The birds we purchased from Dai Evans are 3 x 1st Open National Winners, 2 x 2nd Open National Winners and 5 x 3rd Open National winners, recording 7 x 1st Sections, 3 x 2nd Sections, 3 x 3rd Sections. In all, 13 birds raced out of 16 purchased scored well over 55 Open National positions. This family have won from 100 miles through to 603 miles — a true All Round family, winning in all conditions and speeds, winning against over 14,000 pigeons at velocities in excess of 1800 ypm.
