Lesser Black-backed Gull 2CY, May 29 2017, Heemskerk, the Netherlands.
      Bird is not ringed, no provenance on origin. Intermedius x fuscus-type 2CY bird. 
       With advanced post-juvenile moult in late winter, prior to northbound migration. All feather tracts included, also the primaries (and therefore arguable  called no post-juvenile moult but basic moult).  
        Outer rectrices juvenile (left R4-R5, right R5) and outer secondaries in right wing S1 still juvenile.  
      Moult arrested. Right wing P1-P3 relaced, left wing P1-P6 replaced.
