Short introduction


       Two years ago we started to read colour rings on gulls in Serbia. Birds were mainly ringed in Croatia and Hungary, but there were also ringed gulls from Czech republic, Ukraina, Poland, Italy and Lithuania at Danube river in Novi Sad. Last year me and my small team started to catch gulls with clap net on Novi Sad garbage dump and ring them with metal rings.
       This year I started to use colour rings and beside garbage dump I started to catch gulls on Danube and Strand beach in Novi Sad. My rings for small gulls are white with starting letter Y and 3 letters, YAAA-YZZZ , for Med gulls  Y001-Y999  and for large gulls  Y:001-Y:999. So if you read some of these codes please contact me to dragan.fabijan@gmail.com and i will answer you as soon as possible.  
At the end I like to thank Luka from Zagreb for milion one advice.
