Adult males can easily be told from adult females by their all-dark lower mandible. While juveniles show dark bills as well, their plumage is more subdued and they have grey feet.

    What a wonderful blog, these images are beautiful. I'm no ornithologist; I came across this blog by accident, and am so glad I did. Please pass on my thanks to your contributors for their photos.

    This has really 'lifted my spirits': http://sansgod.blogspot.com/ . I shall be linking to you.
