I do enjoy seeing certain Gull species (although I wouldnt have said that a few years ago...funny how things change)<br /><br />Keith - I will have to arrange a meet up at Brandon at some point. It would be good to catch up and I'm interested to see what is about....doesnt have to be the roost even.<br /><br />Mark - You are right and that is how I felt as little as a couple of years back but as time goes on I'm sure you will enjoy them more and I'd them more easily./ As I've said I'm no expert...i'm still learning but thats part the fun. Your are absolutely right about focusing on the common ones firstJason Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370640317306824066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657877595796583471.post-44962444462373126352011-12-02T12:57:50.907-08:002011-12-02T12:57:50.907-08:00Gull ID is certainly a black art, where I think I ...Gull ID is certainly a black art, where I think I have improved a little is learning ( ongoing) the common gulls. Then the different ones start to stand out more . So rather than learn what a Caspo looks like, learn what all the other common ones look like..to me the caspo then looks odd..just my adviceMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01203176876435170079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657877595796583471.post-43283628895767556852011-12-02T12:37:51.258-08:002011-12-02T12:37:51.258-08:00Hey Jason, I'd just love you to come along to ...Hey Jason, I'd just love you to come along to Brandon Marsh and look at our Gull roost! I was there yesterday and there were 100's on the main pool. Sadly, I'm not a great Gull person and no one in the Brandon Team is, so I'm sure we might hold a surprise or two!! <br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Keithboatbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04285893866498111218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657877595796583471.post-74420545803642350142011-12-02T09:42:05.556-08:002011-12-02T09:42:05.556-08:00Well done Jason.I wouldn't recognise one if it...Well done Jason.I wouldn't recognise one if it perched on my arm. If I ever get better at the common species I might have a go at Gulls, could be quite a while yet though!Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543610581948446675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657877595796583471.post-47579721404042367942011-12-02T09:18:16.472-08:002011-12-02T09:18:16.472-08:00Not sure I'd pick one of those out Jase, parti...Not sure I'd pick one of those out Jase, particularly if it was alone!Warren Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042798315431561018noreply@blogger.com
