» Ageing and sexing was done by amount of grey on head and chest (indicates male) and eye light orange brown colour (for adult), and plumage features (colour and wear). Presumably it is a 2nd CY bird, as 1st CY should have olive eye, while full adults often show red eye, and some of the scapulars are still imm. plumage. Legs pinkish. Comments very welcome.
