Almost certainly, read yes! I am a S&D disciple, refer to the recent
field guide debate!, however their pictures can be fairly ordinary,
particularly seabirds and young raptors. However, I find every field
guide I have picked up has very little, often wrong info on young
birds, sexing adults etc. It seems to me with a little effort and
collaboration with Danny ROgers etc this could all be wiped out.
As for how to tell them, ????????????????????????????
Happy birding,
Paul
