A beginner’s guide to moult

Moult is an essential component of every bird’s life – but understanding it can be tricky. In this talk, I explain the basic principles of moult, the different moult strategies that various species employ, and how we – both as ringers and as birders – can use moult as a tool for ageing the birds that we see. Ideal for birders who want to get to grips with the general principals of moult.
