Where north meets south – wintering gulls off Atlantic Iberia

10,000 Birds

Gulls aren’t everyone’s cup of tea it seems but I find them a fascinating group, highly adaptable and capable of surviving and thriving in many situations. Here, in the south-west of the Iberian Peninsula, I am lucky to be able to see a wide range of gulls, particularly along the Atlantic coast at this time of the year.

Birding Impressions from California

10,000 Birds

Valters Videnieks is an avid nineteen-year-old birder from Latvia. Interested in birds from the age of seven, even though his primary interest before that was marine biology, but at the time swimming together with sharks just seemed way too scary:) Valters also has taken up an interest in bird illustration, audio recordings, and since 2023 has obtained a license to conduct bird ringing (banding).
