    You did just the right thing - well done Spotter67. The trouble with this time of year is that the chicks are getting adult markings, and the adults are moulting. Even a scientist would find it very difficult to tell them apart. So our rule is very simple.... if you are not sure if it's a chick just mark it as an adult, which is why you got it just right. 😄
