if we can still slip in a banding we will, if not, we will wish her (yup, I think it is a female too) a nice, boring fledge in a few more weeks!

I think it's too late to band, the chick is 32 days old today. ;D Normally they are banded at three weeks old (21 days), is that not correct Tracy?

Banding can be anytime after 21 days old as that is when feet tend to be full grown - but we can band up until fledging. We prefer the 21 to 25 days that way we are at least 10 days away from fledging for any males in the bunch. As this chick is a female, she's still 10 days away from fledging likely but we don't want her to do anything stupid as we go up the ladder, so she'll likely stay bandless this year.
