I love those 'lost' first gen tail feathers replaced with the black tiped 2nd gen ones
that bird was born in the same colony as two that ive seen on the thames this season, and looks better than both in terms of greater coverts and the way the scaps are marked, perhaps less or no herring influence in the family tree
