Pain In Left Hand Between Thumb And Finger

January 19, 2011, in Talavera nervous day brings unexpected results

This morning Oscar went to Talavera de la Reina. Arrived at 9:45 pm and closed the day at 13:45 h.

At first it seemed that there were many copies of seagulls. So the estimate was 2000 and 1500 dark laughing, confirming a slight reduction of troops over the previous week.

The beginning was difficult, since the distribution of the piles of garbage scattered the birds throughout the plant and its scope limited almost exclusively to the trash heap that operators remained active. After giving the birds came back and facing the sun, making it even more so long observation.

also joined that day touched Nervis, and countless birds were frightened, they came to despair at times. However

inesperadmente results were remarkable, as it is shown the 8 readings. Roland De

Scope Adjusting Elevation And Windage

15 and January 16, 2010, both mornings in Colmenar Viejo

Saturday, January 15

over a week of rain, Juan Colmenar again hoping to be able to move unimpeded through the landfill. No sign of fog with clear sky from the first hour, reaching to heat the sun from mid morning.

entered the landfill at 8:15 pm, with 8 ° C warm temperatures and the lack of wind.

beginning to get impatient, because the gulls got up early and not until about 9:00 am not coupled, flying discharges, a significant group. But then came in a rush and did not have to meet less than 12000-15000 dark and laughing a figure of over 20,000. These estimates are made based on the general lifted moments, it never had more than 3000-4000 individuals resting at your target. Still

discurrió placid morning, the weather pleasant and fun, because he always had a sufficient number of gulls in the vicinity of oteadero.

Sunday, January 16
Day
almost based on that of yesterday in the weather, clear skies from the first hour, no wind and heat dentro del coche a partir de media mañana, aunque hubo que retirar hielo del parabrisas y el termómetro marcaba dos grados menos (6º C) cuando Juan entraba al vertedero a las 8:20 h.

Delfín llegó poco antes de las 9:00 h., cuando se posaban las primeras gaviotas.

Buenas cifras de gaviotas, quizás algo inferiores a las del día anterior, pero buena parte de las grandes se posaron en una zona de la planicie superior del talud Este sólo accesible con un todoterreno.

Can You Fix A Snowboard With Gorilla Glue

January 14, 2011, in very low numbers

Javier Vazquez accompanied by Jordi , Pinto arrived at the landfill around 10:00 h, with a radiant sky, a temperature of 5 º C and without any wind. Environment not conducive to the concentration of gulls.

Very few gulls when arriving, no more than 2000 bleak, if reached, but that was laughing a lot less.

Throughout the morning gulls gathered much less than usual at this time, not more than 4000 bleak , being generous. Regarding the laughing, their number would exceed 500.

Throughout the first part the first morning they were being harassed by an adult male Marsh Harrier, who left them alone and then by a peregrine falcon with Piguel, causing panic among them. Is the same as John saw for days.

How Does Sperm Smell Like Fish

Pinto gull with black ring J6Y3

On December 12, 2010, Dolphin dump in Colmenar Viejo, observed and photographed a gull ringed with feathers somewhat atypical for the individual's age, first winter.

Photo: Delfin Gonzalez

few days ago received an email with the following:

At first he thought might be a Baltic by black and white appearance, and the small size was small even in the hand.

Banders, Arild Breistøl Frode Falkenberg and we are not sure and we added a question to the subspecies.

six birds were banded in the first year that day, the other five they were as intermedius. Three of them have been later in Spain, Hanstholm in Denmark in October and a third in Anza, Agadir, Morocco last month. There were few banding

Hordaland to date, there will be more in the coming years.

The nearest Baltic should be raising to 250 km in the northern part of Møre and Romsdal.

For the first time in 6 years did not visit all the colonies in Troms and Finnmark Shadowlands, due to bad weather. This means that only 83 chicks banded in 4 colonies, 150-300 in 9 normal colonies.

It is best played when 50 pairs on some islands in a lake in Ringvassøy, Troms. The first colony in fresh water north of Norway!

They had a few chickens in 2010, they were accosted by a Falcon Local gyrfalcon when we were there.

will be interesting to track the coming years.

Some pictures on the day of banding:

do not know if it is a Baltic Gull (Larus fuscus fuscus ) Or not.


Future observations will clarify the issue.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Swollen Tonsils With White Spots Hard To Swallow

8 and January 12, 2011, Talavera de la Reina reunion

finally was able to restart Oscar Gaviotero activity after two months of enforced absence .¡¡¡¡¡

On January 8, came to the dump around 11:30 h. , pick up the car after the workshop (one of the reasons that forced his absence from Talavera).

morning appeared appropriate, with a timid sun even peeking, what did not presage the final outcome with a tremendous downpour that made him pass the withdrawal.

On 12 January came around 10:00 h. and left at 13:30 Gaviotas

increasing. Laughing bleak 2500: 3000.

This is demonstrated by a greater number of readings.

The total balance was as follows:

Egg White Discharge At 39 Weeks And 2 Days

2, 5, 6, 7 and 9 January 2011, first days of the year in Colmenar Viejo

Days data accumulate, so will gather several dates of visits to the landfill in Colmenar Viejo.

January 2

Juan Colmenar entered the landfill at 8:10 pm, with 7 º C ambient temperature and partially covered sky. High humidity, but the lack of wind allowed for a nice wind chill when completely cleared and the sun warmed. Dolphin

arrived minutes later and, with difficulty, climbed to the top of a slope, not without risk of being trapped in the mud. Move within the gulls after the mud seemed foolish for this.


Dawn in Colmenar Viejo

Although the number of gulls present was important (estimated around 12000-14000 dark and slightly higher than the laughing), the number of readings was limited for several reasons: very small percentage of banded birds, unable to approach by the ground conditions, vision and uneven ground plane (rings partially hidden) from the main host, bugs somewhat uneasy when the sun shone.

January 5

Dolphin came around 13:00 pm to dump Colmenar Viejo with intermittent rain and foggy especially that prevents you from seeing gulls until 14:00 h.

went out of the landfill at 16:00 pm

January 6

Dolphin Miguel and agreed this day in Colmenar Viejo, with an unfavorable weather forecast for seagulls. Gradually

were looking at different species to a total of 7.

The rings were scarce, as in other days, hence the few readings. but it was together an entertaining morning until 14:00 that folded some damn pissed off by the fog.

January 7

All weather forecasts and rainfall yesterday advised against going into landfills today.

When Juan Colmenar reached the sky darkened and it began to rain intensity and so was the picture to enter the landfill, with 8 º C temperature and moderate wind forced the OS placed downwind.

soon stopped raining although an intermittent drizzle accompanied me all morning and some mist was passing an appearance.

As expected, the number of readings was testimonial (all performed at bugs on the trash), but I had no less than 6000-8000 weak (only visible in the elevated) and double figure laugher.

January 9

Finally! , Announced a day without rain, as well developed. He entered

Juan the landfill at 8:15 pm, with 6 º C temperature, light west wind, and fog covered the sky almost directly attached to the ends of the landfill, soon spread inland.

Dolphin arrived shortly after and, as planned before the ground conditions were placed in rubber boots and portable chair for viewing from outside the car, the old fashioned way. It would have been impossible to access the slope without risk of being trapped in the mud and without interfering with the movement of trucks through the narrow path enabled.


Seagulls in flight at the landfill

seemed to paint it right the first time because, although as ghostly figures involved by fog. Gradually, the mist lifted and managed to read the first ring of dark, despite the very low proportion of banded birds. In contrast, the ringed laughing devil it appeared to have brought the wonder and not see a single PVC between the thousands of specimens gathered.

all changed shortly after 10:00 h. The sun began to shine, shots were heard near the landfill and the agglomeration of machinery-trucks-workers in a narrow range of discharges drove away the seagulls.

In a gross estimate, there would be less gloomy 12000-15000 and a higher amount of laugher. Returned to rest, always suspicious, until our presence up and decided to take the height and pirarse.

When they returned, after a long break from the machines, made in very small numbers and the vast majority were laughing. Tired of waiting and exhausted the topics of conversation, the two concurrent observers abruptly decided to end their activity at around 13:30 h.

If things continue like this ... the fans will decline.
