[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 6425408, member: 166"] Quite a few broods here but too early to gauge the success - you can't do that until after harvest as they will have lots of hiding places. Greys don't do "visible" A top tip for knowing there's a pair with a brood will be if you see one dragging a wing - that will be the male trying to divert you away from the hen & chicks. The rain a couple of weeks ago has nailed the early hatching broods & as above, the hens will be producing the next batch by now. The current sunshine & not excessive heat is ideal bug weather and great for broods (y) Again, if you see only one, it will be the cock as he tries to draw the threat away from the hen sat on the nest. The worst you can see is a pair because they are either barren or have recently lost their nest or brood. [/QUOTE]
