for the top position. To complete the day Mr Nicolson took 4th best champion Fife with his variegated buff cinnamon cock, again a superb example showing good shape and feather quality to amplify the depth of a truly magnificent stud. Third best champion fife went to J Holmes’ variegated yellow hen, best champion clear went to Smith and Evans’ clear yellow cock and the partnership of Shelbourne and Oldroyd took the award for best champion white/allied.


The Fife Fancy canary entry was up by 81 exhibits in 2011 to 602 which is setting the trend for this new NATIONAL EXHIBITION at Stafford.


Congratulations Jack Nicholson For the second year running Best Fife in show was awarded to Jack Nicholson with a self green yellow cock though there was much discussion among the judges as to whether the bird had fully completed its moult, but still an excellent example of the Fife Fancy canary. Second best champion Fife was Mr Nicholson’s heavily variegated green buff hen, a superb bird showing very good type and excellent feather quality, which equally ran very close


38 BIRD SCENE


In the novice section the honours were dominated by the Herd and Sommerville partnership taking Best Novice fife with a variegated white, third best novice fife and best heavily variegated, best novice clear, yellow hen, and best novice cinnamon with a yellow variegated cinnamon cock. T Campbell won second best novice fife and best variegated with his yellow cock and also best novice self green with his self green yellow cock. A good entry in the juvenile section meant the honours were divided between T McCarthy, best junior fife and runner up K Stewart.
