I was slightly amused when somebody suggested that the reason I spotted a Citrine Wag on BHM on Sunday was because I'm now familiar with them, having seen them in Greece. As you can see from these photographs, the Spring birds are very different to the fresh First-winters that tend to turn up in Britain in the Autumn. Not a trace of yellow on the Black Hole bird; yet in the Spring, even immatures like this one are as eye-catching as lemons ripe for picking. I suppose the bare parts, mantle, coverts and tail are still quite similar though...

You can only be young once. But you can always be immature. See the link below for more info.
