User's notes
I'm 99% sure that this is the RBT family. The juvenile male has only a small area of red on his head, and initially, I usually think he is a female because of his grey head. Both juveniles were fed, with both parents feeding. The family seems to have been moving locally, between sections 57 and 58 for the past month or so - and, of course, have frequented this area since fledging. Of note, is that the head colouring of the young male has not changed since fledging in early January.
