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.
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.
Next Show is in Northumberland on 9 November.
