Larus fuscus fuscus 2cy June 08 2008, Tampere, Finland. Images Hannu Koskinen.

2cy fuscus in spring. Typical individual as it has replaced all of the feathers to 2nd generation (although a few innermost secondaries may still be juvenile). Several inner greater coverts, inner median coverts and single lower lesser coverts have been replaced again recently.
