Keep up the work in Austria too! Yes we did. Since it had become very very cold, a lot of large gulls from northern directions arrived and they brought a lot of rings to Austria. Only today Lukas Strobl and I managed it to read 11 rings on cachinnans at the banks of river Donau near Krems: green XH...

Surprising details of mentioned S92R shown above, received from Zagreb RC: "S92R has an interesting life-history, and also - it was observed in Hungary on 22.8.2016 and next day in Baška." Complete life list: Ringed on 30.5.2011 at Zecevo. Previous observations: 15.10.2012 smetlište Arad, ROMANIA, (...

Last week I´d been in Baska again. Much more people there now, so it´s not easy to observe gulls at the beach or even to read rings. Only few ringed birds remained due to the decrease of ringing activity. Four different ringed birds were seen, only 2 of them finally read. Some pics: juvenile k1b.jpg...

Just seen: I´ve written 3rd winter - nonsense of course. It is definitely 2nd winter. It is a bird from Ivanovo oblast, while the birds going to Israel are born at Selitba Lake, this population includes barabensis type. PVUN is a bird from a mixed colony Herring X Caspian and I still think it can be...

I see a Caspian here, maybe from Estonia.

Hi, nothing to help in the last 2 years :( . There was no winter in the last year and therefore no large gulls at Krems and Gneixendorf. And my local spot at Wörth has gone... But today it was cold and I was in Krems and looked for gulls. Really, the first large ones had arrived. The first 2 Caspian...

Hi, some years ago, in 2007, I had observed a large gull with green Polish ring 063P. This small bird (female) appeared first time on 24-2-2007 as a first winter bird at Wörth. It was a bird from Jankowice colony in southern Poland and so I was sure that it had to be a Caspian Gull, although I knew ...

Fine thing - Caspian Gull on GRO! Stayed undiscovered by me for several month.... I did not expect to find my pictures of ringed CG from Ukraine and Poland here; please excuse the very bad quality! Nowadays I have updated my equipment. Maybe this winter will bring again a lot of ringed eastern CG to...

Hi Mars, excuse my late answer :oops: After loosing my premium gull site at Wörth my motivation went down and for long time i didn´t visit GRO-forum.... Of course feel free to take all these pictures, they are already public ;) I would see it as a honour to have pictures at this great high quality w...

But I have the idea that in his eyes I said something wrong. About a ring in Austria that looked different to me but I did explain that I was not conspicuous but purely interested... Don´t worry about that .... ;) 2 things: I have a lot of stress now. And I have lost my local patch for large gulls,...
