Andy take a picture of a youngbirds wing you are not going to race so as you dont loose it then after the moult take another picture of same wing and study the diffrence

currently breeding a couple of "potentials" for future stock John , so they could be ideal for this ,thanks.

Think i'll do that, this subject is really interesting, considering the focus for as long as i can remember has always been that the Primary flights indicated the distance most suited to that particular bird.
