Last one has girly looking head,little one and one next to it might help seeing there tails,bigger one maybe male from what i can see of it,but not 100 percent

In first pic,apart from noggins,look at females long looking body,bulkier body,skinnier head,but solider everywhere else and also very solid tail right to tip,good female signs,especially in lowlands blotcheds,easier to see in adults,males ate usually scrawnier,shorter looking for same age specimens and develop boofy heads,some dont though,so theres sometimes ones that keep you guessing,but usually they end up what your suspicions believe them to be

The first two, I guess the same as Richard, and the last one, which is probably a girl. The other two, I would need full length photos, showing, relative body and tail length, but the are at a difficult age to tell.

Lol,snoop jeffy jeff

Birds eye view of whole body and tail ect helps,lowlands are generally easier to sex than alpines,though vic alpines are similar to body proportions as lowlands,especially the males
