One of our robins is moulting at the moment, and has just the stubbiest of little tails. It hasn't affected his aggression and territorial behaviour - he's still chasing the other two (who seem to be a pair) away from the feeder if he gets there first! He looks such a scruffball in comparison to the others.
The cormorant and duck photos were both taken at Heuston Station the other morning.
If I hadn't read your info I would have thought him to be a juvenile. Wow. That is quite a scruffball!
