Kleurringproject van Zilvermeeuw Larus argentatus en Kleine Mantelmeeuw Larus fuscus aan de Belgische kust: overzicht van algemene resultaten
In 1999, a colour ring-project on Herring Larus argentatus and Lesser Black-backed Gull Larus fuscus was launched at the Belgian coast. In total 509 and 486 Herring and Lesser Black-backed Gulls respectively, were equiped with colour rings. Both chicks and breeding adults in the colony of the outer...
