Ringed with a Finnsih metal ring HT -

Common Gull-like general appearance. Note the bleached wing-coverts and
the brown hue in the upper-parts. The plastic ring may have get lost, but
other birds were metal ringed, without plastic ring, e.g. a bird ringed as
pullus HT - 5.205.201 ringed at Palkan in June 1999 and a bird ringed HT -
205.296 which was ringed as pullus at Kanala, also in June 1999.
