..... LoL John... I struggle to ID them, let alone age them!!!

But yes, this is a herring and sub-adult... and that's the closest to aging him I'm prepared to go!!;)

A super picture you've got of him too - well done laddie.
 
Oh forgot to say whenever I see your shots I am waiting to see your lens + 1.4x tc !
..... Of course I am sure soon you will post shots taken with this new toy ! All the best ;)
