I feel for you mate.

You know, we all have this sad experience from time to time. Had one myself not so long ago. Not often mentioned of course. Had one similar and apparently it was a heart attack. Mate had one 2nd section and 8th national. Was in such fine fettle 2 - 3 weeks later sent it with hope to Lerwick. Came back with the convoyers ... Dead in basket! autopsy showed it was canker --- Been treating with the same remedy throughout of course.

I, like most don't fathom out just why - unless an autopsy is done. We look squint eyed at every other bird for some time to follow, but it is so very often the case that all are well and bouncing.
