Judges comments on class:

Outstanding class.

1. Cinnamon spangle. Super width of head. Beautiful bulleye spot. Didn’t show all the time but when he did he was excellent.
2. Another super bird – fantastic outline, head quality, size, showed all day.
3. Outstanding hen, slow starter, super variety bird.
4. Super hen, a bit lazy but another lovely bird.
5. Another quality bird. Let down by lack of black in wings.

Good quality down to cage 10.

Judges comments (recorded by Carol Gough):

The top row is a super lot of budgerigars. How unlucky is the Grey cock in second place to have met the first bird today as it would have won the National any other year.
First is a Cinnamon Spangle with nice wing markings, super width, great depth of mask, bulls eye Spots that you would die for- just an outstanding bird.
Second, the Grey cock showed all day. Lovely shape of head, a solid bird throughout and just unlucky to meet the Cinnamon.
Third is a Greygreen hen who was a little bit slow to start. A beautiful variety bird, beautiful definition of black on yellow on the wing and overall a lovely hen.
Fourth is another powerful good shouldered hen.
Fifth is an Opaline Spangle but wing markings let her down.
Down to tenth placings are all super birds.
