    UK gull ID

    Location: Swindon, UK Sorry for rubbish photos but just after an ID on this gull please. Initial thoughts in the field were Great Black-backed but since looking at pics I've unconvinced myself!

    Mallorca 2022

    Thanks both for your replies, even though they were 3 years ago! I'm not sure why I missed the replies, but we didn't end up going. However we are planning on booking for next year, so will have a look at those books\links unless there has been any updates? Thanks, Nige

    Sutton Park

    Please would someone mind letting me know where the best place to park for the RBS? I think I've worked out roughly where the bird is located but not sure on parking. Thanks, Nige

    Any dipper sightings Somerset U.K. ?

    The last few years I've had them at Wick along the A420 (might be Gloucstershire though), although can't be far outside Somerset! The river is quite high and fast flowing at the moment though so haven't seen them this year. Nige

    Birds of UAE query

    Thanks Swissboy. The first edition just doens't seem to have as many maps as I'd like I guess, but maybe I'm asking too much! I haven't seen inside the second edition yet, to see if it's much different. Will keep an eye out though. Thanks, Nige
