Re: Barneveld 25-08-10
In addition to Theo, we also had this bird. Comparing it with an adult micha on the same pile, I noted that the legs were a bit paler, the orbital ring more orange, the mantle slightly lighter (more Herring) and the tip of p10 fully white. If I counted right, p6 is growing, while p7 is dropped and p...

Re: Westkapelle autumn 2010
This morning Theo and I spend some hours at the dike. Many candid HG juveniles, as you can see here below. Some juvenile HGs have molted half of the scaps already, others have done nothing yet. This bird (pic 2,3) seems a bit strange due to the plain tertials en inner hand. The 'h' word or just whit...

Re: close but no cigar?

Re: Westkapelle autumn 2010
Today two juvenile YLGs at Westkapelle, many ringed HGs from the neighbourhood (they are on the move, the colonies are almost empty) and some variety by this GBBG black JM45.
And this one of the present YLGs was as huge as a GBBG!

Westkapelle autumn 2010
Theo Muusse and I checked Westkapelle this morning. Not many gulls on the dike, but we spend our time with reading rings. A ringed HG from the UK and a Danish bird. Also several metal Belgian HGs and some Dutch LBBGs. We also had two juvenile YLGs which reacted very well on our feeding activities. I...
