Ageing of Hampshire WHITE-THROATED SPARROW - finite detail

Tristan Folland has very kindly emailed me these close-ups of the Old Winchester Hill tail feathers and upperwing feathers

North American expert Peter Pyle commented

''Hi Lee -The added detail showing brown and worn primary coverts, outer primaries, and rectrices makes me entirely confident that this is a first-cycle individual. Cheers, Peter''
