When Roger Williams (who had the location from you Steve) and I were there just now the three part-obscured birds were resting under the tree, and 2 further FDs swam up with a group of hardheads from the direction of the feeding area. (5 altogether) The two that could be clearly seen lacked any breeding male bill colour.
