At least 2 very eager juvies can hardly wait to try out those mighty wings. I'm sure they will fledge within a few days. These are males and they are far sooner ready to go than females. One of them is hopflapping along the edge constantly, jumping up the cross over, flying off, hopping on top of the side edge. The tailfeathers are long enough to be off essential help in the landing procedure. But landings are a bit tricky for starting juvies. Landings are more of a crash.
Juvies fledge at dawn. I'm sure the Project members and volunteers will keep an eye on our beloved 4 wehen they go. So no one will get hurt or worse. We want 4 beautiful sqauwking juvies f;ying arounf the Derby Tower! Love to see that with my own eyses. Next year I will certainly come over from teh Netherlands and visit Derby to do that!
