Well what a great day weather wise.
Had a trip to Calke Abbey and a nice walk around the deer park and lakes, then in to the stables for a cup of tea and a lamb burger , what a great time had.

I have no idea Arthur, but having a quick read up, the blue ones are male and the red ones are female and if you are coloured blind it's the one on the left
