Mmmmm..... what a great picture you've taken of this youngster Joe..... with some lovely plumage detail too.
Excellent work here my friend - very well done lad.
I'll check with the experts, because I think this may be the nominate subspecies and we don't have a juvenile from that race in The Opus as yet and if I'm right will upload to the article.
Due to info I gathered from the article, it appears that those in the UK just now are most likely the nominate subspecies. The ones that winter here are C.c. islandica. So your image is now on the article.
