Larus fuscus fuscus adult CWWR, September 17 2010 & February 04 2011, Ashdod. Picture Amir Ben Dov.
Ringed on June 29 2004 near Pori, SW-Finland.

Amir Ben Dov visited Ashdod on 17.9.2010. About 150 - 200 gulls were present, with only 3 ringed adults from Finland.
Weather did not allow appropriate scores in the field, but the general idea was that most adult fuscus had dropped P1-P2. One bird missed P1-P2, but had P3-P4 growing at about 30% of the final length (irragular moult strategy). There were also a few birds which had not started the complete moult yet (P1-P10 present).

Hard to tell something about moult from this image.
