Hi Michael,
The other link I forwarded just takes one to Foys, but this link shows the

Hi Mike,
Mick Hoskins originally imported two Shannon birds from Harry's loft in the
late 90's a Blue Cock and a Dun hen. The hen after a while died, but the
offspring bred from these two imports were then bred from again and

more Shannon birds from Harry's loft. Mick had 3 birds, and I had two as

West Mercia Club brought them up for old man Barker to fly, he was a oap,
and wanted some tips to pass the time away, Cyril said the birds were very
easy to settle and could fly the clock around no problem, Old man Barker
bred 4 young birds and flow in the Tyneside club with them, he flew them
