LBBG 2cy NLA 5.412.032 October 01 2004, Westkapelle, the Netherlands. Picure Pim Wolf.

This 2cy LBBG was ringed in Holland NLA 5.412.032, ringed as pullus on 03 July 2003 at IJmuiden. It still shows some brown scapulars, mixed with only a few fresh grey scapulars. All coverts are brown-grey as well. P8 is fully grown and P10 is still present. Note the jumpy sequence of the covert moult, most obvious in median and lower lesser coverts.
