From 16-19 February 2012 Catherine and I attended the
11th International Gull Meeting in Zagreb, Croatia. A few days ago I
posted an article about the fieldwork sessions from the Conference where we
observed a range of gulls at Zagreb Landfill on the Saturday, and then colour
ringed some the following day. However, the Conference also had a very varied
and informative series of presentations from a number of gull enthusiasts from
around Europe. These talks covered areas as diverse as ecology and migration to
identification of some very difficult races. Naturally I took the opportunity to
make a presentation on the gull projects being run in the Bailiwick of
Guernsey.
Our sincere thanks to the Association of Biological Research
(BIOM), Croatia, and to Luka Jurinovic and his small team of colleagues who
hosted such an enjoyable and successful Conference!
