photo 2222: Yellow-legged
Gull michahellis adult, July 11 2002, Etaples, France
(50.44N,01.35E).
An adult with P6-P10. Note the old wing-coverts
which are all abraded at the fringes and note the moult of the head-feathers,
creating a bare part around the eye, making the red orbital ring very
conspicuous. The red spot on the lower mandible extends on the upper mandible.
