Good record shot Carmen - I thought it looked good when I saw it on your camera screen today, I think.
This bird is a juvenile, of course.
According to Lewington et al (Field Guide to Rare Birds of Britain and Europe) they are, as one might expect, supposed to moult to 1st winter before migrating, but interestingly the second for Britain at Fair Isle off northern Scotland on 17-18 September 1981 was a juvenile.
