Observation details
When in Rome - as 'local' consensus is the bird is a Least, I will enter these recent photos as such (although I am still waiting to hear from European experts why this is not a Little; see also checklist S115920585). Today I focused on flight photos, which the poor light and rain (at times heavy) didn't help. But the following photos do show the secondary coverts are molting; there are two and maybe three 'ages' of primaries (P1-P4 look fresh, P5-P7 older and very worn, and P8-P10 'possibly' intermediate or at least less worn). Also, the inner tail feathers (R1-R3 'appear' fresher than R4-R6, but that is just an opinion).
