Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2012

Welcome Poland! LBBG (Larus fuscus)

It was just regular every week gullwatching at Miedwie Lake. We read there mainly gulls who previously captured in the city centre of Stargard. The Lesser Black-backed Gull is quite rare guest on our region, what more Polish ringers catch just few LBBGs a year. Lukasz and me didn't expected that this 1cy gull would be so timed to catch and ring it after 10 min.

What next ? Hope to see it on Madrid Gull Team website next year :)

Breeding Barn Owl (Tyto alba)

Yesterday Lukasz Borek ringed two barn owl chicks in one of a church tower near Stargard Szczecinski, Poland. As you can see they are few days to fly out. It is amazing that this species can breeding right now (i mean we have late autumn in Poland).
