Lithuanian BHG (Ch. ridibundus) from new cr-project

Yesterday I read the yellow darvic ring PE87 on 1cy BHG in Malta lake, Poznan. It's from NEW 2013 Lithuanian project. The project has been started in commemoration for Vytautas Pareigis, who sadly passed away early april 2013 when reading gull rings.

Hope to see more Lithuanian gulls this winter.
