With fledging going on it's getting a little crazy!

Tony I use the ladder only if I don't want to lower the system.

All of my nest checks are done while on the ground. If I see any problems I use the ladder then. For instance now I will only use it because of fledging.

I stopped my nest checks when I reached 110 pairs because of fledging going on but I'm sure there are a few more nesting pairs.
