Cachinnans - nest Lelystad 033

General remarks:

  • Eggs: Volume measured by Stonehouse (1964) and Spaans & Spaans (1975), which make comparison possible with data from Texel (Camphuysen pers comm 16.04.2020).
  • Nest 033 positioned at breakwater 1, two meters from nest 34. High on breakwater, between large blocks.
  • ID in 2020 certain, both Caspian Gull cachinnans, one parent has sub-adult patterns in wing.
  • ID in 2021 certain, both Caspian Gull cachinnans. But are these the same two birds as in 2020?
  • ID in 2023 certain, both Caspian Gull cachinnans.
  • ID in 2024 certain, both Caspian Gull cachinnans.
