Yellow-legged Gull michahellis sub-adult,
October 01 2001, Le Portel,
France (50.43N,01.37E).
Primary P8
fully grown and all old primaries have been shed. Head streaking is concentrated
at the ear-coverts and the crown. Note the black markings on the bill. It seems
the primaries have been folded wrong and P6 lies beneath P7.
