(last update: May 17 2015)

LBBG 1cy BLB H-124795October 04 2002 Le Portel, France.

This 1cy LBBG has been ringed in Belgium last summer: code Bruxelles  H-124795, ringde as pullus on 10 July 2002 at Zeebrugge (51.20N 03.11E).

About half of the scapulars have been replaced for second generation feathers and one lesser covert has been replaced. As seen in other Belgian ringed LBBG, the jizz (general appearance) is that of a relatively bulky, strong bird. In appearance they substantially differ from the Scandinavian LBBG, which can be found in continental NW Europe in the same period.
