Observation details
An interesting variety at the echium patch. One full adult male with a full red head and gorget, the crown appearing golden in the backlit sun as it fed. It appears to be on territory, perching at times in a willow overlooking the echium and chasing off another male. It did a couple of full display flights as well. Also an adult female and an immature (2024 not-so-recent-fledgling) with no gorget/neck markings at all and only a bit of green on the back.
