MANTON BAY - MARCH 2021

  • I’m not sure which is which despite looking online. I think the female has a darker beak and they make different calls but I’m still not sure, I’m waiting on an egg. Hopefully our 2 birds will be back before that event, fingers crossed.
  • Better seen here Jane

  • SmileIn which case Jane the female also has the darker eye patch. Thank you  for your research      

    And darker neck markings! In fact the more one looks the more different they are!  

    But:   the ''darker'' bird is the smaller bird    .....   so maybe this is the male and the ''lighter'' bird the female

  • OH good Jane. I heard the call but was away from my computer so didn't know it I'd ''made it up''
