This is a close up photo that shoes the colouring of it’s feather. It looks as though it’s thinking about something, but it has an eye on me and the rest of it’s surroundings. 

It’s legs and feet are orange. Females are smaller than males.Juvenilles are smaller and duller in colour than adults, the beak and legs change from black to red and orange in three months.
