A study came out a number of years ago that showed that the Blue Tit, a
European species always thought to be sexually monomorphic, shows
obvious sexual dimorphism in the ultra-violet range. The birds
presumably can see the difference, but our human eyes can't. It would
be interesting to know how common this is in birds.
