Still, in recent decades, the Great Black-backed Gull has become a regular migratory and wintering wanderer of neighbouring Hungary and Croatia. Is it because the number of birds is increasing? Or the number of birders is increasing? Or better optics becomes more readily available?

The Ural Owl inhabits old and undisturbed boreal forests, in an unbroken belt from Sweden and Finland across Russia to Japan, and is rarely seen to the south, only here and there, in the Carpathians (Slovakia/Ukraine/Romania/eastern Serbia) and Dinaric Alps (Croatia/Bosnia/western Serbia).

Last but not least, there are only two or three conformed sightings of this northern species, rare in Serbia. Southern Europe’s Herring become a full species, the Yellow-legged Gull Larus cachinnans. How to tell these two apart (and how to tell them that they are now separate species and are not supposed to hybridise)?
