Oh how interesting... I don't think I've ever spotted a young one!

It wasn't until Bob mentioned the 'upside-down hearts' on my picture the other day that I noticed that feature of their plumage, but I see the young ones don't have that, but are streaked instead. Maybe I'll have to look back at some of my pictures to double-check them.

Thanks for this lovely picture Brian.
