When The Rain Stops

[Guest bluemorning]

try not to let your birds out when the rain stops as bop will be hungry and intent on a kill your young birds wont stand a chance 1hour after prolonged rainfall is when they will be hunting but i would not risk it wait for a break of four hours or so. good luck

they will hunt in rain when desperate spars have a high metabolisum and need to feed on a regulary but wet feathers make it slower seen a male spar three times due to let up in rain keep them in

You are spot on Rab, noticed mine are much more tuned into the wildbirds(as am I to be honest)and are off like a shot. The starlings in my neighbours tree are my new best friends
