V0PS

Y[V0PS], un 3cy de Larus fuscus anillada en Dinamarca. Un ave de tipo graellsii. No se observa muda activa en rectrices, pero sí en terciarias y coberteras alares (tanto medianas como grandes). El pico es aún muy oscuro, mientras el iris ya comienza a clarear. Nótese el obispillo de un blanco puro, contrastando con las rectrices.

Yellow V0PS, a 3cy LBBG ringed in Denmark and observed in Ciudad Real in February 20th. 2009.

This is a quite typical 3cy graellsii-type bird. None tail feathers are moulted in February, while there's a pretty bunch of coverts and tertials recently moulted. Note the dark-based tail feathers, indicative of 2º generation. The bill is still blackish, and the irish already clearing to pallid yellow.
