Yes it's a fantail, both parents are rescues this is the first bird born in my coop. The father bird (seen in the background) I found wandering the streets and the mother bird was an unwanted pet I took in, the father's a fantail and the mothers a fantail/tumbler mix.
Grand to hear, the history of the early railways is fascinating with so many weird designs pushing known metallurgy trying to make something strong enough to pull a useful load but light enough to not smash its rails. Next time I’m at Beamish I’ll have to record some footage of the replica wagon way and it’s locos wonderful machines to watch.
@@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks have you looked at the site on Google maps? It covers an impressive area, when I was a child my favourite part was the tram line which circles the site you could leave me riding on that all day no trouble. I'm going to have to go visit soon, it's been a few years.
Wow grown up baby ❤❤❤ great color developing

Also, the book you sent has quick become one of my favourites. The very foundation of steam. And steam is my biggest hobby love.

@@SteamTrainsNStuff through this book I have discovered Beamish. It is now high up on my list of places to visit before I die! Lol
@@Terrys-Steam-and-Bricks and it's only a stones throw from the Tanfield railway, if you ever find yourself over here give me a bell.
@@SteamTrainsNStuff i will!

I’ve had older relatives keep pigeons. I love them.
Such underrated birds, I didn’t think I’d enjoy watching and interacting with them as much as I do.
@@SteamTrainsNStuff that’s great to hear. 😊
