1st cal. year Yellow-legged Gull / 1. KJ Mittelmeermöwe (Larus michahellis) |
The photographer took this picture to illustrate the moulted feathers within the wing coverts and within the tertials. This advanced state of moult is a good feature to separate Yellow-legged Gulls from Herring Gulls in their first year. |
