thanks. but i have to say the hobby in #34 looks rather 1st cy to me. pic was taken on 17.09.2005 and a subadult, i.e. 2nd cy wouldn't show that clear pale buffish fringing of upperpart-feathers, which generally would have a more slate-gray or steel-grey tone.
btw., the 2 bird-theory seems ridiculous to me - anyone can see it is the same bird, on its particular nape pattern alone. if there was a smiley i'd accepted it...
