Łubna, Poland
As an extension to this topic , here are a few ringed Croatian birds I photographed in Łubna (central Poland, near Warsaw).

Re: Covert moult in argentatus
Well it's not unlike some of those W Mediterranean michahellis. However, given the rather short wings and notorious similarity of some Baltic Herrings to YLG I opted for a careful phrasing

Re: Covert moult in argentatus
Interesting to see that it occurs in both wings, as usually so many new coverts are a result of some sort of accident.

The recordings therefore are in very poor quality. I'm not that good in sound but to my ears it sounds like a cross between a Herring (p...
