Sandringham Show

[Glassfeather]

King's Lynn Fur & Feather Society are holding a competitive show and a display of Fancy Pigeons at Sandringham this weekend. It's a great show, with lots to see, lots of crafts and steam engines and various animals, usually some nice pigeons on display. Worth dropping by if you are in the area.

It's difficult to say how many pigeons, I think last year there were maybe a hundred pigeons.

This is the info from their website:
