Young birds appear to have completed their moult into the winter 

 plumage by the early part of September, some of them having nearly 

 effected their first moult by the end of August. The full summer

 end of May have scarcely yet gained full summer dress, while adult 

 birds procured towards the end of July are already in half winter 

 plumage.
