Łubna in January


The pictures on these pages were taken by Mars Muusse and me at the Łubna rubbish dump between 12 and 17-01-04. The most numerous gull at Łubna at this time of year was Herring Gull (L argentatus), followed by Caspian (L cachinnans) and, in much smaller numbers, Greater Black-backed (L marinus) and Common Gull (including several L c heinei). Yellow-legged Gulls (L michahellis) were scarce with just a few birds. A single Glaucous Gull (L hyperboreus) was seen nearly every day as well.
