Grangemouth CBS show today. I did very well against champion and novice competition taking all the special prizes for Best Scots Fancy, Best Unflighted Cock; Best Unflighted Hen; Best Flighted Cock; Best flighted hen. Even my Norwich did well - Best Novice and Best Unflighted Novice.

I have acquired some Belgian Bumps - they are a new variety to me. Here was Best Belgian at the National this year. I've a lot to learn.

This weekend past - The National Exhibition at Stafford. Best Scots Fancy in Show.

I won the same title in 2012 and 2013 but it's great to win it with a new bird. Here is Elizabeth winning in 2012 and 2013.

Following my tradition, this year's winner is named Prince George.

I have been incredibly remiss in not keeping this blog up to date.

The breeding season was good - 31 youngsters. My highest total so far.

And now we are in the show season.

First show was the Scots Fancy Specialist Club show on 3 October. Just missed Best in Show but beaten by Robert Clark. Won Best Novice, Best Novice Unflighted, Best Novice Piebald, Best Novice Any Other Colour, Best Novice Green, Best Novice Clear and Best Novice Flighted, along with two trophies, Best Novice and Bill Sheridan points trophy. Particulary pleased to win the USA OVCA rosette as Best Novice.

4 October 2015 was the Northern Counties Scots Fancy Canary Club show and I did well there too. Best Novice, Best Clear Yellow and Best Clear Buff. Well pleased. Best in Show - Alan Rundell's green.
