BURTON & SOUTH DERBYSHIRE FEDERATION - 05-09-24

BURTON & SOUTH DERBYSHIRE FEDERATION.

C.Leadbeater & Sons win a great race out of Salisbury (2).

The last day of August saw 53 members send 882 birds to the second of two successive races out of Salisbury in Wiltshire. Saturday was a lovely morning, but the big difference was the wind, the young birds had faced Westerly winds every race up till this weekend, but for this race the wind turned into the North East, thankfully it was only a light wind in the morning, and most birds were safely home before the head wind got stronger in the afternoon.                                                                   

The Hill Ridware lads weren’t going to miss a chance like this, being on the west side of the federation, the East wind making them red hot favourites to top the fed, and they didn’t disappoint.        

Congratulations to C.Leadbeater & Sons on taking 1st; 4th and 6th fed on 1429; 1423; 1364;  the fed topper a blue Van den Bulck cock, the sire out of a son of “Mr Specialized” when paired to a daughter of “Golden Lady 2”; the dam of the fed topper is a daughter of Marcel Sangers “Banksy”.
