Great shot Konstantine. I'm not sure if this is one bird or two, but either way I really like it.

Very good PP work Konstantin - you can hardly tell they're twins! Good B&W conversion too. CJ

I think a picy of them mating will settle the whole thing:-)

Rod - so, what do we have now ? - numbers (positive/negative), the beak's size - I think, these are the most important indications to differ a male being from female one.

Love the reflection! BTW, the male has the longer beak. - angioman

Wow, twins. -Doug

Try subtracting one from the other and see if the result is a positive or negative number. These subjective conclusions are not working. -tv

Find the male - he is the bigger one. Or if you can not recognise him - then look at female - she is the smaller one. It's easy, isn't it ?

Which one is the smaller one? Or if you can't answer that, which one is the bigger one?:-)

Hi,
the birds can not be the same - the bigger one is male and the smaller one - female.

We were much too polite to mention that Brent:-) Naughty Konstantin might have also added a butterfly in his lizard picy but we have bin concentrating on sorting David out before starting on Kon, I wonder if he used the Lucis filter too:-)

I can't be the only one to notice they are both the same bird can I? Sneaky and clever Konstantin :-)

These birds are well known for always walking backwards so a point deduction might be in order a:-)

Nice - working opposite corners and even if not actually "touching" the edges, they are clearly moving there. Good timing. -tv
