@MichaelMulvaney - this female has quite marked coloured feathering, that sweeps from her brow (below her crest) to the back of her head, on both her right and left sides. I'm wondering if this could be another identifiable bird? We can keep an eye on her?

Yes- very distinctive and perhaps indicates that this is an older bird - we have Lady Gaga already so perhaps we can call this one Madonna - do you feel up to going through past CNM photos to see if madonna has visited us before?

Lol - Madonna! Could even be Kate Bush, given her crimson colouring! I can have a look, but again, might take a while as, like everyone, I'm pretty pressed for time. Sorry
