norfolk flyer 208 Report post Posted May 12, 2016 Clare, Good nest there Hope they all survive, Look forward to more photos. Trevor ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clare L 175 Report post Posted May 17, 2016 Thanks Trevor. A quick update, only 5 surviving now. Not sure on the colours yet, but hopeful for at least one silver, the rest look to be normals, and not a cream or fawn in sight now. Should have a much better idea next week on the colour, and even better I have a week off comming up, which is when they should fledge. This pic was taken yesterday, they are starting to show feathers, and are starting to grow very quickly now, but a very dark looking nest now colour wise. Might get some nice BF normals if I'm lucky.
