User's notes

Meet No Colour, who is cleaning her foot. I've imaginatively called her this because she has no easily seen golden head feathers. I've posted multiple photos of her over the years on SCNM, where I initially thought she was a male. Then I heard her begging last year, and discovered one yellow feather under her beak. She and her mate were flying and eating together with the young, previously unnoticed, female and her mate, which was posted earlier.
