You are making great progress, Tony.
To think only a couple of weeks ago you were all nerves about getting the first youngsters out, and now you've got the younger ones joining in and old birds and you are really going well.
:D

Thanks Murray, I am still nervous when I let them out and now with the younger birds in the mix to.
There is one bird that really stands out to me already this bird is always first out the loft onto the trap, has a look around and then off on to the roof, fly's from one roof to another then in like a bullet to the trap. Sets off again doing the same thing before the rest follow if I was to Nom a bird already this bird would be it.
I think its a cock bird bit bullyish on the trap to the others, checker, with white spot marks down it throat like someone has splashed it with paint just hope he teaches the rest to come back in like him.
