See the difference

between male and female? Dad on the right followed by mum who seems to be in a rush!

The chicks taking shelter as usual.

[Kathy A]

They are such good looking birds

[Issi Bannerman]

Mum's are always in a rush! Lovely capture.

[moni kozi]

Oh, how lovely they look all together

[Beryl Lloyd]

The chicks are so well camouflaged- took me a minute to find them ! Mum and dad look very intent on the job in hand ! fav

[Christina]

They look like such anxious birds. Do they ever relax?

[winghong_ho]

Sweet photo for the while family.

[Gosia]

Great capture

[Babs]

The chicks are so well camouflaged

[Mags]

A sweet family capture.

[Merrelyn]

A great shot to show the difference between the male and female. The chicks are so well camouflaged that I nearly missed them.

[narayani]

Another nice family shot

[Elyse Klemchuk]

They both have brown on their bodies. Dad seems to me to be a little more ivory-colored, and Mom looks more white. Is Dad's body just a bit larger? I was so busy looking back and forth between Mom and Dad that I almost missed the little ones!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I see the difference. They are so cute.

[Allison Maltese]

A nice family capture. The male looks a bit larger in stature to me. Do they have coloration differences as well or is that just the light?

[Korcsog Károly]

They are great at disguising themselves! Great shot!

[katy]

This one does the fabulous job of showing the difference between the two. she is much less colorful than he is

@christinav They can only afford to relax once the chicks are grown up Christina, too many predators around ;-(
@kchuk @falcon11 The colouring is quite different and the male is a bit larger too :-)

[Pam]

I did not realize there was such a difference.

[Rick]

Great shot. Interesting to know the difference.
