Another week has gone. Colin has made excellent progress with Cathy. You can still see her twisted wing in the video but the fact that she is flying is more than anyone expected, especially after seeing the damage shown in the x-ray image.
X-ray image can be seen at 'Colins blog'. See the link on the left.
She is seen feeding in the video, gore rating of 7 out of 10. Do not watch if you are squeamish.

Great video.
I guess that sound effect at the end is a camera shutter? My heart stopped, thinking it was a shot.
I'm having trouble viewing this, Jon - but almost everything is a problem just now! I got a new PC because the old one was an antique, the printer was bust and I wanted to enter the 21st century with Vista. Well, I have Vista now ..... but almost nothing else. Sigh! I'm sure I'll work it out eventually. Incidentally, while on - I so admired your photographs last year that I got myself a camera like you said you were using. Some of my photos are OK but not a patch on yours!
Karen Anne, yes that's the sound of my Canon camera. I will turn the volume down when I use this method again.
Sue in Bucks, try the video after several days as it seems to get smoother once established. Oh and good luck with Vista!
Thank you both for leaving comments, it helps to know it's appreciated.
You promised me, you would make me look like a movie star, not a bald fat man :( good production I enjoyed watching it.
Regards
