Hello folks as you have seen ive been messing about with these feathers and wondering where the ones i have come from, a kind forum member sent me a few bigger than mine and it still remains a mystery to me which ones i have. So with the ones i have recieved i made this fly and hope the member that sent me this feather approves.

The feathers i was sent.
