marshman 7,758 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 A quick question , I was talking to my father about the birds he used to keep years ago. And he told me he got a lot of he's birds of a game keeper from Norfolk or maybe it was Suffolk I can't remember, anyway he said he's name was Mr Baynes and he kept a strong line of old English game which he said Mr Baynes called old crow wing . And I was just wondering if anybody else knew this man or even had any original crow wings from him? Also this would be in the 1960s so it was a long while ago.

basil123 103 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Walter baynes was one of the finest breeders and keepers of game birds of his time his favoured bird was the crow wing i know many men who bought birds from him and i have only heard good things about him. his strains are for the most part gone but i dare say some one might know different, i for one would pay handsomly for achance to own such a strain.

And we've been talking about his game birds from years gone by. We didn't think there would be any of his line left . Thanks again M . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
