Ringed Caspian Gull - February 22nd 2012

[Cristian Mihai]

Hi everybody,

Here is "the PSPE gull".

[Cristian Mihai]

I was browsing my pics with gulls taken on February 21st, when I found this one...I didn't see the ring that day, but I was a better birdwatcher the day after...

February 28th - I haven't received any reply to my e-mail sent on February 22nd about this bird. I would like to ask you all to help me with this issue...
I sent the e-mail to ring@miiz.waw.pl and grechuta@miiz.waw.pl

Hi Cristian,

the quickest way to get data of CG ringed in Ukraine is to write to RC in Kiev (Anatolyi Poluda). Within some days he normally will reply.

Greg will answer very fast - if you have seen a ringed bird from his Russian expedition .
Otherwise I think there are many of these PSxx and PUxx on their way in western or central Europe and GN seems to be very busy with work this year, so I had to waite some month for an answer with data concerning the first PSxx-gull seen this season in Austria (in October).

If you contact Polish RC you don´t can expect any answer - they are not responsible...

So you should try Anatolyi!

Best wishes
Wolfgang
