I rest my case about the colours of a cock Chaffinch, lovely. I learned the hard way about feeding maggots with a poor Robin. I left my maggots still on the hook lieing on the bank while I ran up the bank to help the brother with a fish. Not pretty and very stupid of me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
