Had to go back to the loft this afternoon as the feed truck came in and we had to unload it, I got a Pic of the PB auction bird while there as they had all trapped in from the morning fly. Alo Go one of Fifestays and Dons while there.

Here are a couple Photos from today when I was at the loft. The PB bird looks a bit better than the 1st photo after settling in more. Even found a new buddy,lol also some of the birds in the flypen as it was a no fly day due to rain and OB racing that go over the area.

might I ask who you got them from, it may help if you need to watch :-) I do releases and have about 80 whites at this time. Good Luck
