Baltic Gull - Larus fuscus fuscus

1-6: © Visa Rauste, 28-05-2006. Tampere, Finland.

A bird that at first sight comes close to acceptance, although it has replaced P1-7 (not P1-8). The flight shots reveal however that except for the outer few, the secondaries still are juvenile! Birds like this indicate that close attention should be paid to all feather tracts.
