juvenile gannet

Was having a discussion about with a local birder (ne uk) about plumage variation of juv gannets.

I trawled the net for pics and didnt find anything good.

AM looking for pics of 1st winter/ 1st spring birds/

Basically birds with no white on the upper wings.

AM also very interested in pics of birds showing the white on the underwings.


Grateful for any links ))


erm...this in the right forum??
