Alf Thompson's homing pigeon Cedric is taking part in another race and Pat has to deliver a tracking device to attach to the pigeon's leg. It must be delivered by noon, but when a magpie steals the special delivery, Pat is nearly late. He has to use Julian, Charlie and Meera's flying camera to get it to Thompson Ground on time.

Pat has to deliver a big tree to Thompson Ground, but can he get it there without harming an unforeseen bird's nest full of baby wagtails in its branches.
