The adult yellow-wing award went to Hughes & Proctor dark green cock of good colour contrast and head quality. A.J. Minchin occupied second spot with a dark green cock, a good all round bird but slightly soft. Guppy & Barnes were third with a powerful dark green hen but slightly out of condition. The best yellow-wing in show came from the young bird section with the Guppy & Barnes partnership light green cock of good size and deportment. Ben Dufosee from the novice section was second with a good all round green cock. This was followed by another quality bird from the Guppy & Barnes partnership with a good contrast coloured dark green hen. |
