Message: <blockquote data-quote="KM1" data-source="post: 1723557" data-attributes="member: 58084">Many thanks for the additional corrections and suggestions. I'm shocked that I overlooked the botched-up Sooty Shearwater caption, thank you very much for that Gastronaut! Perhaps it was because I was too preoccupied with the fact that the new figure of a swimming Bulwer's Petrel is way too big compared to the other swimming figures on the same plate. This, I hasten to point out, is entirely my fault, not the publishers' or printers'. The incorrect Sooty Shearwater caption should read "powerful flight and athletic build are the most obvious differences compared to darker Balearics (see pp 70-71)"Harry asked a couple of questions, of which one has already been answered (though I recall that there is a discussion and photos of the Mar 2000 Finnish bird published in an issue of Alula magazine). There are two articles on Relict Gull published in Dutch Birding. though the possible record for Turkey is based on the discovery of a just a ring, and is therefore open to question.Dutch Birding 29, 2 (2007): page 94Artikelen / papersFlock of 14 Relict Gulls in southern Russia and north-western Kazakhstan in May 2000Vladimir V Piskunov & A N AntonchikovDutch Birding 22, 4 (2000): page 219Artikelen / papersPossible ringing recoveries of Relict Gull in Bulgaria and TurkeyEdward I Gavrilov & Andrey E GavrilovI cannot guarantee that all of the more clear-cut text-page errors listed in this thread will be rectified before the next print-run, but I certainly hope so. Please keep them coming!Killian</blockquote>
