November 19th, 2013 
Nick Every “winter” the gull flock at Bang Poo is more than 2000 birds strong and with ever-increasing numbers of Thai day trippers feeding the gulls this large flock of gulls is likely to remain a feature of birding in Thailand.

Birds In Bangkok | Thailand Birding
June 9th, 2013 Nick Although I have lived in in the city since 1996 I am always amazed that there remain lots of birds in Bangkok.

Gulls in Bridlington Harbour | British Birding
April 2nd, 2007 Nick Today, a brief shopping trip to Bridlington gave me some time to check out the birds in the harbour. With the tide in, and given the time of year, there were not too many species around; just large numbers of Herring Gulls of all ages. A single Lesser Black-backed Gull, a few Common Gulls and [...]
