Yellow-legged Gull michahellis 2cy, April 19 2002, Etaples, NW
France (50.42N,1.34E).
In this individual, all rectrices and
remiges are still juvenile, and it has all the tertials juvenile as well.
Three lesser coverts and median coverts #3-8 were replaced in the
post-juvenile moult. Now, a few months later, the white fringes on the
tips are worn away.
