Greetings all

Staffelmauser is a term used to describe a form of moult-pattern.  Quoting
directly from the Plumages glossary in HANZAB:

"A pattern of moult in a row of feathers in which a wave of moult begins
before the preceding wave is complete.  This produces two or more active
moult-centres  in a row of feathers."

Hope this sheds some light.
