Status of the Lesser Black-backed Gull Larus fuscus in Zagreb, NW Croatia

Lesser Black-backed Gulls Larus fuscus were studied at Zagreb city rubbish dump, Jakuševec, from February 2000 to December 2003. In the year 2000 there were only 22 field days distributed over the whole year, but in 2001–2003 birds were counted regularly once a week. A total of 163 field days yielde...
