Edwin,
1) Did you see the two birds
together or at separate times?
2) How did the morphology
differ?
3) How did you age the
birds?
4) If as you say, one was a
juvenile, does this imply you think it possible it was born
locally?
There are certainly some
interesting questions regarding the bird I saw and photographed, e.g. why is it
in primary moult and why is there some pale fringing to some upperpart
feathers. I think there may be parallels with the first year Ringed Plover
C. h. tundrae at Marlo.
