after the 8th IGM
12th October, on our return from the 8th
International Gull Meeting in Galicia, Spain I read a metal ringed 3cy
Greater Black-backed Gull (Larus marinus) in Viana do Castello,
Portugal Fishing port (41o42´N-8o50´W). My read
was certified by Mr Visa Rauste and Ms Dr Maija-Liisa Penttinen. I also
managed to digiscope the ring (Washington DC/USA bird band, thought used in
Canada)
The Gull was ringed by Gregory Robertson June 7, 2002, in SE Edge of Newfoundland CANADA
(5 km East of Mobile) !
Also an albino gull was present at the same place. Which species?

The 6th IGM
You can have a look at program of 6th IGM in Lammi in 6th
IGM 8.8.-11.8.2002
As
a surprise to the 6th IGM Norman van Swelm sent the following paper 6th
IGM, Norman van Swelm "Identification of Yellow-Legged Gulls"
Here are some pictures from the 6th IGM:
Preliminary itinerary for the 6th IGM (af&rj/v7 30.7.2002)
Special
note for all participants:
There is
no public service of alcoholic drinks (or beer or wine) at the biological
station. Only about 30 litres of home brewed traditional local beer called
“Sahti” is served free. It is a living and very strong dark beer. It is
normal that some people do not like it. And it is brewed by Risto Juvaste, who
can not even guarantee the success of brewing, so it is possible that your
stomach does not like it.
The
prices of beer and wine in shops of Finland are exceptionally high due to the
highest taxes in EU. That is why we highly recommend that specially the people,
who come by car, could take along some extra cheap and nice European beers and
wines to make happy also those participants which come by air and therefore have
limited possibilities to carry drinks. The dark beer lover Risto Juvaste can buy
out the extra drinks so that you do not need to carry them back.
It is
possible to buy alcohol in Lammi, only 4 km away, until 6pm Saturday.
Note that
the addresses of some www-pages of Lammi-station have been changed.
The main page is ok < http://www.helsinki.fi/ml/lammi/ >,but the traffic connection and maps pages have new addresses, where you can
go via main pages, but also directly < http://www.helsinki.fi/ml/lammi/location.html >
If you
need rent a car or if you are going to stay in Helsinki or Tampere before IGM,
please note Annika’s mail in my www-pages.
