Larus fuscus fuscus sub-adult, December 14 2013, Ashdod, Israel. Picture: Amir Ben Dov.
Mirror on old P10? Seems to have P9 in much better condition, suggesting a old moult division at P9. P7-P8 missing, P6 not really new or very wet (but why is there not a large white tip on P6 when it is recently replaced? So probably an old P6). Much black on bill and much streaking suggests sub-adult rather than adult.
