Larus fuscus fuscus CHV8, February 2008, 2009 & 2011, Ashdod. Pictures Amir Ben Dov.
Bird ringed as pullus on 27 June 1999 at Puumala, Finland (61.5499, 27.9404) by ringer Risto Juvaste.
below: 10cy CHV8, February 15 2008, Ashdod. Picture Amir Ben Dov.
In 2008, it is a 10cy bird. P10 almost fully grown, just an inch to grow. Complete moult almost finished. Its hard to interpret from this image, but P9 seems to be slightly bleached (unlike the growing P10), and lacking a white tip, unlike the fresh P8 and inner primaries.

Bird first read as CRV8. Outer primaries look fresh. P10 seems to be just a little short in the far wing?
below: 13cy CHV8, February 12 2011, Ashdod. Picture Amir Ben Dov.
Clean ring again. P8 fully grown, no old primaries left. PMS = 46. Inner secondaries (S14-S18) to be replaced last in line.
