Larus fuscus fuscus 4cy C1MS, July 10-17 2003, Tampere, Finland (61.33N 24.59E). C1MS was ringed in Luopio, Finland (61,33N 24,65E); ringed as pullus on July 04 2000 by Risto Juvaste. Hand when ringed: 265 mm. Ringed as pullus in 2000, now in 4cy. Very reminiscent of adult fuscus and compared to western taxa: with small size, slender bill, dark upper-parts which turn brown hued when older and worn and small white tips on the outer primaries, which wear away quickly. P1-P10 still old by July 2003. |
