5659: michahellis juvenile, July 28 2001, Le Portel (France).
A few
scapulars are missing. This is an example of a bird showing obvious wear,
compared to more tidy birds we came
across in juveniles by the end of July 2001 at Boulogne-sur-Mer. Note the fringes of the juvenile scapulars and
especially the inner coverts. Nevertheless, the overall impression of the
feathers is pretty neat.
