Leading Rares at the 2006
Specialist & Rares Show
Photos by Terry A Tuxford
Margaret Dark judged the 99 Rares, which was an increase from last year due
to the extra classes for the Rainbow and Easley clearbody.
The adult winner went to a well proportional Texas Clearbody light green hen
of Geoff Tilson, a bird of good stance and condition. The runners up were the
Norris’s Easley Clearbody grey green cock of good length but lacking in condition.
Paul McGrath was third with a Texas Clearbody grey hen of quality and staged in good
condition apart from a missing spot.
Gren & Pat Norris were the winners of the young bird certificate (and
best Rare overall) with a wide headed Easley Clearbody light green cock of wide shoulders.
A slate hen of good length and depth of mask from Bob Allen was second followed by Les
Cutler’s smart Texas Clearbody oplaine light green hen staged in good condition.
