User's notes

I think young ones, as they were very quiet, sitting under a shrub initially. One flew off, the other stayed so I could take photos.

It was the markings around the eye that led me to suggest Common Bronzewing, even though there is no obvious colour on the wings.

Hopefully they will hang around until adult, then I’ll know for sure!
