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.
