August or September Thorn?

Post by JohnR »

I can’t make my mind up. How significant in the absence of the small cross line between the 2 bars? Arguably the outer bar points towards the wing tip, the 2 bars appear to converge somewhat towards the trailing edge, and it looks more like September in the guide. But I bet it’s an August.
Cheers John.

September Thorn John
August Thorn has pale tarsus so appears to be wearing white socks. It also rests with wings more open
