My FHH is ready and was started yesterday by the bloke that is going to fly her. GOS, MHH and Gyr/Barbary are no where near, but the Gos will be first. :sad:

Nearly there. Just a week or two to finish. The weather isn't right for flying my gryxperegrine, tho. Today it's forecasted to be 98 and 100 degrees for the rest of the week.

Jester got his first free flight yesterday after his moult (and judging by the amount of feathers i picked up probably his harem too :shock: )

he only dropped 3 primaries and 4 secondaries from each side though but that seemed to be it. dropped his deck feathers and as soon as the replacements were little over 1"long he dropped the rest of his tail and looked really wierd :shock:

after the wind and rain all day today i was so ****ed off at work but it eased off and was quite nice so i got him out again and he flew even better ........... especially when he took off after a pair of wagtails (dont think he realises they are a lot quicker and more agile than he is but it was brilliant to watch all the same :D )
