Alan W said:or for one of the darvic rings to have been lost already...
So is it a known regular occurrence?
In reply to SunnyKate2:
I think they can lose them over time Kate, they probably get brittle as they age, so it would be unusual for one to be lost so early.

Interesting scenario this morning, what is this feather?
Ah! ah! tis prey.
then it falls
Now she flies back and forth, very quickly
back and flies again
back and into box
and gone again.
Phew ! hectic few minutes...
Brilliant sequence Kate
Thought this was Mr but then it went into box and only saw a silver ring on right leg (click on 5th Image to enlarge), so am not sure doh!
Then walked back onto Perch
Nice one Kate yep it's Mr he has the silver ring Mrs doesn't have any.

Hi Wendy
and here is Mrs
Hi Kate, managed to catch Mrs P on vid ... did you notice that odd feather on her back?
I wonder if it is one of her back feathers sticking through her wing, will be interesting to see what happens to it.
