Larus fuscus fuscus 5cy CANN, August 06-10 2002 & July 11-16 2003, Tampere, Finland (61.33N 24.59E).
CANN was ringed in Tampere, Finland; ringed as 3cy on August 11 2001 by Risto Juvaste. Hand when ringed: 420 mm.
Ring records at Tampere landfill:
2001: 6 records from 2001-08-11 until 2001-08-26,
2002: 28 records from 2002-05-01 until 2002-08-13,
2003: 21 records from 2003-05-11 until 2003-08-12.
Ringed as 3cy at Tampere, Finland on August 11 2001, now in 5cy. Compared to western taxa: adult fuscus with small size, slender bill and dark upper-parts, which turn brown hued when older and worn. Normally fuscus lack any moult in the scapulars, wing-coverts and the primaries, but this individual is missing soem central median coverts. This may be an indication for moult in the inner primaries as well, but that was not judged sufficient in the field in CANN. At least P3-P10 are old. The small white tips on the outer primaries wear away quickly.
