Hello Clever People!
Sooo...which is it? I'd have thought moulting then mating so everyone looks all gorgeous, but I'm sure my boy was hormonal (and bitey, the little toad) earlier in the year and last weekend quite dramatically pressed the "chuck all your feathers on the floor and grow pin feathers EVERYWHERE" button.
He's rapidly heading towards looking unloved and homeless and I've checked my photos and he went through exactly the same this time last year - as you can see below. What I can't remember is whether grumpy-hormone bird follows grumpy-moulting bird or vice versa!
