Show Season - it's been good for me this year so far.

Blackburn and the Scots Fancy Specialist Club Show started the season. I won Best Novice and the points trophy.







The following day at the Northern Counties Scots Fancy Club I won, unbelievably, Best Scots Fancy in show. Really please. I also won six special prizes for Best Novice Current Year, Best Novice Yellow, Piebald and Green and Clear. A superb day for me. 




And this lovely trophy


The National Exhibition followed at Stafford and while I won Best Novice Scots Fancy, I did not do as well as last year. It remained a great weekend away.

Today was the 150th anniversary show of East Lothian Cage Bird Society and I won Best Scots Fancy. My birds were looking a bit tired - they need more show cage training and to learn to use the top hat drinkers. We have two weeks until the next show so water drinking is the next lesson.

The Scots Fancy Specialist Club show today at Blackburn, West Lothian and I was delighted to win Best Novice Unflighted, Best Novice Yellow, Best Novice Clear or Ticked, Best Novice Green and Best Novice Piebald plus the trophy for Best Novice and the Bill Sheridan Memorial Trophy (both of which I hold for a year). Absolutely delighted and the added bonus of a raffle win of a 5kg bag of seed. A great day.

Tomorrow is the Northern Counties Scots Fancy Club annual show. Not sure I can top today!
