Observation details
Including at least three birds that were gathering mud & hence presumably nest building but had a few retained juvenile feathers - one had all three tertials and at least one lateral uppertail covert juvenile while another bird had several juvenile, pale-tipped, greater coverts. All had long tail streamers, glossy crowns, mantles/scapulars, richly coloured ear-coverts & napes & otherwise appeared like adults. Odd that they'd otherwise retained so many juvenile wing feathers so far in to the spring of their second calendar year
