Interesting remark about the different eye marking in these two ladies. Both pics are very good, Christine, thanks for them and for your description!

Thanks everyone, They are such a nervous bird which is understandable because they are only bred for shooting so they are off as soon as they hear a noise, trying to get photos is not easy. It is a shame because they are such a beautiful bird.
