User's notes

At first I thought these were two males, until I saw the strongly coloured tail colouring of a young female, then noticed the only yellow feathering was above the beak - although there might be some more yellow feathering starting to appear on the right cheek? In the photos, I notice there is still juvenile spotting under the wings. I'm wondering if this is dad and daughter - could mum be nesting? (I'm assuming this female is too young to be paired up already?)
