Would these be natural colour stu?....i have black, orange,green and yellow and the thing that made me ask about these ones was they have shorter barbs than the others, not much longer than peacock herls if you see what i mean.

Hi g bigtrout,

Yup, Ostrich herls - quite a bit longer fibres than Pheasant herls - use them a lot.

Thanks for interest guys....this is a pic to show why i asked the question, i am used to the big Ostrich ones but these threw me a bit.





Not much thicker than peacock and the stalks are a lot thinner too, maybe naturals of a young bird.
