Thanks Carsten for your comments. Well, I wouldn't personally say that the moult is unique. The moult pattern is quite normal for a 2nd summer large gull, but the striking, contrasting general appearance is due to the relatively worn remiges and wing coverts from the first complete moult last summer. The wear can probably be explained by the fact that this species winters quite far away to the south, where sun-bleaching etc. has quite a strong impact on the feathers.
