Cachinnans - nest De Kreupel D02 20

General remarks:

  • Eggs: Volume measured by Stonehouse (1964) and Spaans & Spaans (1975), which make comparison possible with data from Texel (Camphuysen pers comm 16.04.2020).
  • Nest on island "D", positioned in SE corner.
  • One parent is pure cachinnans, colour-ringed but code uncertain.
  • Two large pulli ringed, late in season. Both birds: pale inner primaries (pale window) and tertial pattern, together with obvious gonys angle on one bird, may hint to argenteus blood.
location Parent is colour-ringed. Date: June 12th, 2020.  
   
juveniles June 12th, 2020 pullus p[FA]. June 12th, 2020 pullus p[FB].
