GULLS AT BONE-MEAL DUMB

June 2009
Yesterday I was on the road with a bird-ring-recording enthusiast from Leipzig.
We went to a bone meal-dumb on which where about 500 forageing Gulls
– in fact: European Herring Gull Larus argentatus, Lesser Black-backed Gull
L. fuscus, Caspian Gull L. cachinanns, Yellow Legged Gull L. michahellis,
Common Black-headed Gull L. ridibundus and Mediterranean Gull
L. melanocephalus.

For all kinds of senses it was an amazing – maybe odd – experience to
appreciate these gulls in that gloomy surrounding!
