Yeah he does look tatty doesn't he, i thought he may be a young bird but past his first moult, he let me get very close to him 6 -8 feet away

apart from his looks he seemed very active

I did wonder if his foot might have hindered him in some way from catching his food.

They do tend to go a bit scruffy after their first clutch (if he is a parent) but if he is a youngster then bad moult or lice might be the cause

sometimes the nest they came from might not be well kept by the mum

Lets hope he makes the most of it while he can
