I'd intended a macro, but then Im picked up Flügel...
Flügel has been moulting into eclipse (getting browner and subtler by the day), and Koi has been very ragged for a while, but Kappa is now playing catch-up and is suddenly looking very patchy: she has suddenly shed all of her primaries, with new feathers starting to appear... Ida's still looking pretty pristine, when she's not covered in mud.
