HAIL STONES STORM!!!!

[djb78]

Went and checked the aviery boxing day after the freak storm, the five young painteds which fledged that morning were all good and safe and another young painted was also with them from another clutch, all birds seemed good and healthy. All my breeding pairs were good also no freak crashes but lost a clutch of Saints which were the first clutch that was nearly ready to leave about a week off, two on the floor and one in the water. I reckon that the hail on the lazerlite is what scared them to jump due to their nest was next to the roof, hope they go down again as this will probably be one if their last years of breeding.
