I posted a photo a week or so ago of what I thought was a young male hoodie.
I had seen these young siblings together a couple of weeks back and they looked very similar
and I mistakenly thought the female was the male and vice versa.
A couple of weeks later and it is obvious who is who.
The young male is changing rapidly, even getting some white on the head.
I feel very lucky to have access to the pair as they are growing up.
Taken this morning in the rain.

These usually develop late in their 1st winter or in spring, so separating them from their female siblings. Immature males resemble adults by their 2nd winter.
