Kelso 2015. Final show of my season - driven miles and enjoyed the chat. Now for a rest. Best Scots Fancy and Runner-up Best Scots Fancy plus one first novice Norwich and one second - all against competition.

Some more photos from the Gouden Ring show now that we are home. The birds traveled well and are getting ready for the last show of the year at Kelso this weekend coming.

Her mother won Silver at this show last year.

Carlisle National show today. Best Novice Scots Fancy with Elizabeth's son - I have never shown him before. He looks just like his mother now I see him on the show bench. Best Novice Current Year Bird as well. Very pleased.

Musselburgh & Whitecraig CBS show. Best Scots Fancy. The winner is No 80/15 - proving a great success this bird - it won Best Scots at the National Exhibition this year.

North East Gloster Club show today with OVCA Northern Patronage show. Best Novice and Best Scots Fancy. Really pleased that this foul green No 64/15 took the award today.

This white is let down by his damaged tail.

Some shots of the birds.

Gibber Italicus - lovely little birds.

And a stunning Gloster - clear. Somewhat rare in that variety.

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.
