Can anyone recommend any id guides that will help me with gulls seen in the UK? I need quite an easy simple guide that isn't full of detailed information, preferably with good pictures?
Whats it called? all the guides that seem to be on Amazon are covering America, and none in the UK.

The Collins fieldguide is sound except that the treatment of the Herring/Caspian/Yellow-legged Gulls is now not really adequate.

Tonight I'll send you a link to the best gull id website EVER. Not much use in the field of course, but there is so much you can learn on there, taught me loads...
The best guide money can buy is.
GULLS
Of Europe-Asia-&-North-America.
By
Klaus Malling Olsen. & Hans Larsson. The best 45 quid you will ever spend.
Pauco,
Excellent as it is, I'd hardly put Olsen and Larsson in the "easy simple guide that isn't full of detailed information" category!

The Olsen and larsson book is certianly to much for a novice, it could lead to some mis-ids, as alot of species look almost the same to the un-trained eye. Its great once you sust the commoner species and want to learn more.
