Needing some help/confirmation on the age and sex of these Merlin captured on a camera trap in Central Scotland.

Great set up.....tentively suggest an adult female, 1,2.3 and 8 and sub adult male. Is it possible to date when these images were captured.

Thanks for the response. I wasn’t sure if I had two different birds in the first 6 images, the last two images I had as an adult female. The date is on the bottom of all images, though should read 2023, an error on my part setting up the camera.

Cheers, never certain regarding date stamps, occasionally they give the date that the image is up/downloaded rather than when recorded.

No worries, thanks for your help.

No photos now (not sure if they're needed any more, though). Anyway, can't do that myself, but maybe this helps in the future: Species Files – Guia Blasco Zumeta de Aves. Lucky to have Merlins up there: we hardly get them where I live.

I don’t know what has happened to the images, the post is partly missing. Thanks for the link, very helpful.
