Even quality throughout the class.
Judges comments (recorded by Carol Gough):
A good improvement in this variety. There are some strikingly good birds in the top placings.
First has a solid body, good mask and shoulder and a very nice Clearbody.
Second is a hen with nice head and shoulders, but feather condition let her down.
Third it was the body shape that let her down as it was not quite right but still a solid bird.
Fourth has not got the same body substance but still a nice face and mask and good head features.
Fallow Class – judged by Malcolm Loveridge & Steven Mow.
A nice class with some nice birds.
First is a big strong cock bird with good body colour and nice contrast in the wings.
Second is another nice bird but won’t show himself, just wants to sit there and won’t release his head feathers.
Third is a hen with a good top end, good directional feather and good condition, but lazy on the perch.
Fourth is a nice cock bird with a nice top end but washed out in the body colour.
Fifth would not perch at all and then the quality fell away but overall a nice class.
