Yellow-legged Gull michahellis NT83 3CY, November 23 2003, Rosas, NE Spain. Picture: Ruud Altenburg & Mars Muusse.
NT83 ringed at Medes Islands, NE Spain,
now in 3CY. Complete moult finished. Mirror on P9 and P10. No immature patterns in the
coverts or in the tail-feathers, all very adult-like. Still very immature
bill and the iris is pale-yellow. The white tips on the primaries are small, just thin white crescents on
the outermost primaries.
The complete moult in the upper-parts and head feathers have been
finished, leaving birds with typical streaked heads on crown, nape and
ear-coverts.
