Larus fuscus fuscus 3cy CWX1 December 25 2009, Ashdod, Israel. Pictures Amir Ben Dov.
CWX1 was ringed near Kokkola in W-Finland, ringed on July 14 2007, now in 3cy. Note that the bill has a very broad black band, running back along the culmen. More data will be added when available.
Complete primary moult almost finished as sub-adult by late December, with P10 just a few inches short (so scored P9 fully grown). Relatively strong head and neck streaking.
