(3 images) LBBG intermedius J0Y7 December 03 2003, Le Louroux-Béconnais, W France. Images Alain Fosse.

Rather strong and bulky 1cy LBBG, probably a male. Ringed as pullus in the far north of Norway, on 12 July 2003 at Nordfugløy, Karlsøy, Troms, Norway (70.16N 20.13E). Although from the far north of Norway, this individual matches graellsii in many respects (although late in moulting the scapulars, but this could be expected from such northern lattitude).
All scapulars, wing-coverts and tertials are still juvenile. A few upper scapulars have been dropped and will be replaced by new second generation feathers this winter.
