Larus fuscus fuscus J5LA 6CY, April 17 2015, Outreau - Boulogne-sur-Mer, NW France. Picture Jean-Michel Sauvage.
Ringed as pullus on July 20 2010 at Troms, N Norway. Distance: 2194 Km, and of course this bird is on its way back to Norwegian fjords so the distance could possibly been doubled for the true wintering grounds.
Small, jetblack bird. There is another black ringed J28N bird in this picture, slate grey as in the bulk of the black ringed Norwegian birds and clearly subspecies intermedius. |
