Comment | This is a full frame shot of another first year bird. Compared to the last photo posted this species; this bird has a much darker chest and throat, I have yet to learn if there anything of significance in this but of all the birds I have seen it is not a common feature. I have also learnt that all birds shed their leg skin annually, I have never seen this before and have never read of such. This accounts for the orange appearance of legs of the last three remaining birds when this shot was taken. The adult birds legs were just beginning to shed skin. Have no idea how long this colour might be retained but it must change back to the blue/grey that they were when they arrived. I also found that these young birds were moulting their primaries which is just another of the things that make this species so difficult to age. | ||||||||||||||||||
