I now have 9 youngsters weaned and out flying, I have 20 in the nest around 14 days old and had another 6 hatch out this weekend with 2 more pairs left to hatch. I've ended up with more than intended again but keep telling myself this pair could be champions with channel racing on the cards this year the team are going to have work as I desperately need to reduce my numbers.
I'll try to add some photos next weekend

I know what you mean George, I hate doing it.

I handled all my youngsters this evening, all are coming along nicely apart from one who's flight's are a bit pippi, I've got a right mixture of colours this year.
The 9 that are flying out are making up nicely too.

I don’t like seeing pipey feathers. Good to hear your youngsters are coming on nicely Trev. I’ve got mainly blues and chequers this year. I weaned another 2 today. Both blues out of a Mealey and a blue Chequer.
