Glad you have dusted them off today!! Great pics!!:t:I found my first Jay feather 6 weeks ago (pic 1) and couldn't believe how bright the blues actually are and it is such a small feather ~ only 6cms long!! I also found a Little Owl feather (pic 2) a few weeks ago as well, I was actually hoping to see a Little Owl but had to make do in finding a feather only!! The final feather is from a Common Buzzard (pic 3) found on my local patch a couple of months ago!!I think it has been really helpful in seeing yours and Matts feather photographs as it will help us all recognise 'discarded' feathers we find out in the field!!</blockquote>
