Pictures by Antero from Ethiopia in February. 3cy bird actively moulting secs.
2cy bird seems delayed, or not? In fact, the outer mc may be missing, so can such birds complete a full cycle in 4 months to head north again as we see them in Finland... ?

Very nice to see the complete moult develop over the period... Great work Amir!
