Although not yet matching Amsterdam, Leiden was not too bad either last weekend. Common Gull from Estonia, Herring Gull from Finland, and Black-headed Gull from Poland.

Here some pics from Feb 14, 2010.

Ringed Herrings from Finland are always very nice to see in Holland!

Hi Theo,

Fully agree. I happened to be in Helsinki two weeks earlier, and photographed almost all (!) Herring Gulls in the harbor,
which were only very few as the harbor was largely frozen.... One metal ring read, a 2nd CY, ringed as pullus 30 km
from Helsinki. Some photo's: here http://www.pbase.com/hoeben/finse_zilvers
