I always enjoy the October show but you're right the lighing at the far end of the balcony was gloomy and the queue for the cafe was virtually static.
Some nice Bullfinches & cracking violet splendid parakeets but I wasn't buying birds today.
Trade stands were good I bought plenty of hardware including a heated hospital cage for my more senior birds (just in case).
Who lost the Budgie I saw flying around the main hall ?
