Yellow PDUP and metal (PLG) DN18722, ringed as pullus on May 27 2010 at Kozielno, Paczkow, S-SW Poland, (50°29' N,  16°58' E).

Recoveries:

In this area are mixed breeding colonies (near Katowice), with far most birds breeding here are cachinnans, but in this area also records of very few michahellis from the south (e.g. ringed female from Italy) and argentatus from eastern Germany are possible (see PDF). PDUP is classic cachinnans.

Almost all scaps replaced, and single feathers in the covert panel replaced. Pale underwing.
