Pink-footed Goose with missing feathers? (1 Viewer)

Hello

This lone Pink-foot has been here (River Eden near Carlisle, UK) for several weeks now, but today was the first time I managed to get a decent view of both of its wings. I'm pretty sure it's missing some of its flight feathers on the side shown. Could someone please elaborate?

Thanks
