    Juvenile large gull with white head UK,

    Any thoughts on the identity of this gull photographed on flooded fields near Holt, Wrexham. Although it has a white head, the large bill and dark underwings rule out Caspian. Is it a Yellow legged gull or a Lesser black backed?

    Tena vs Coca

    If you are going to Pululahua Lodge - Renato is a good guide for anywhere around Quito, speaks English very well and will drive you to all the locations in the area. He has taken me out for two short trips and both have been excellent and certainly can give good advice on where to go. In the...
