Hadn't intended doing this but here's my experience,
feel free to comment on whether or not it's lacking; birding for the last 42 years (since the age of 4). Professional birdwatching guide. Previously a Schedule 1 Disturbance Licence holder for three of Britain's rarest breeding raptors (although I gave that up when another research project took over all of my non-work time). Well over 1000hrs at sea in the last 16 years - finding, identifying and photographing marine wildlife and carrying out research projects - so I'm pretty familiar with all 4 Northern Hemisphere
skuas,
LBBG,
GBBG,
Herring Gull etc. PhD, so I think I have a pretty good grasp of how to do research
Well, got to give you credit for persistence. Still waiting for you to detail your own experience though.
The only thing in that link is that contradicts anything posted here is the photographer's lack of understanding of aerodynamics and physics. He confirms that the
GBBG has a hold of a fish that the
Osprey is gripping in it's talons. In the picture that he says shows the
GBBG has flown the
Osprey into the water, the relative positions of the birds is such that they're still both hanging on to the one fish
Only people who are familiar with both species...
If it never surfaced, are you postulating that the fish it is carrying was caught in mid-air? You do know how
Osprey's catch fish don't you?
You're as persistent as herpes aren't you?
That's me finished with trying to have any sort of discussion with you now. Your posts make it clear that either (a) you were dropped on your head as a baby (b) you're on drugs (c) you're illiterate and genuinely don't understand what other posters are writing or (d) some combination of the above. Whichever, you're a waste of oxygen that could otherwise be feeding the brain of someone that is capable of using it.
