BWA WATERFOWL STANDARDS 1999 Following the publication of the 1982 Poultry Club Standards, which introduced new descriptions for several breeds of waterfowl, Tom Bartlett suggested that the BWA should produce its own illustrated standards in colour. The Norfolk artist Carl Donner was commissioned to paint watercolours of all the breeds, plus the standard colours of Calls and Indian Runners. These were published in 1999 as this specially commissioned millennium edition. The 1999 standards book is also available from BWA Secretary info@waterfowl.org.uk and the Bookshop £12.50 including p&p |
