Catching gulls on Strand Beach at Novi Sad


On 26.01.2014 I went to Strand Beach to catch BHGs. Good thing is that I have more people interested in gulls and helping to catch and ringed them. First catch was around 14:00 with more than 70 birds. After that first catch we pull the clap net three more times and finished the day with 157 cr BHGs, one bird was ringed in Hungary. Best day so far!


On 28.01.2014 We again visit Strand Beach to catch gulls. In first catch was 60 birds and in second was more than 40 but we have problem with one side of net and more than 30 gulls escaped :(, so only 10 gulls was left under the net. After all we had good two days.

Few photos of both days:

When we finished ringing of gulls we catched few swans and ringed them, one of them had problem with fishing line and hook.









I would like to thank Magdalena and Kaca for photos.
