I dropped a youngster the other day, but I've more coming through and, well, you are going to lose the odd one.
This morning I put the youngsters out at 7.30 am. It was forecast to get warm again but not for 6 hours or so. The small ones had a fly and some trapping practice. The the 6 big ones flew the hour and came back.
But there were only 4.
There's going to be a problem here, I thought.
At 4 pm I saw a pigeon come between the trees and drop in. As he turned around I could see he's been hit.
We cleaned him up with the fancier's best friend, Dettol, he's going to be okay. But he's shell shocked and trembling and will never be any good.
Still waiting for the other one.
