There were more than 180 entries in the Manx Bantam Fur and Feather Society annual show.
It took place at Braddan Commissioners Memorial Hall in Union Mills on Sunday.
Visiting judges were Chris Parker from Preston, who judged bantams, ducks and pigeons; and Dorothy Gallagher from Bolton who judged rabbits and guinea pigs.
Chris, a Poultry Club ’Panel A’ judge, had recently returned from a tour of judging in South America. Margaret Faragher, of Ramsey, judged the cats.
The stand out results included Tina Jauncey, from Bride, who took top honours in the bantam and waterfowl sections with her ’spotless’ white call duck. Best pigeon went to a very fit and stylish West of England tumbler owned by visiting exhibitor, Lisa Ball from Lancashire.
Best rabbit went to a fine and shapely red eyed white Polish buck owned by Alex Hogg of Douglas.
Best guinea pig was won by junior exhibitor, Eva Moore Spencer of Onchan, with her impressively-shaped short haired female.
Best cat went to a white Manx female in lovely condition owned by Ernest Clague of Regaby.
Andreas village hall is the venue for the next two local shows.
Onchan Fur & Feather Society’s Show takes place on January 12 followed by Ramsey Fur and Feather Society Show on February 2.
