In the north of Australia we also have changing colours, but it is not the foliage that changes. By collecting data and following individual birds it is possible to provide data to both governments and environmental groups to help protect the habitat both here and overseas into the future. Get yours today! Very well done!

In polygynandrous systems, broods may be raised by groups of males (either with or without the help of females) (Briskie 1992, 2009, Nakamura 1998).

Which, naturally, got me to thinking about the newly erected order Suliformes, a development I mentioned in my December column, 2010′s Top 10 Developments in Bird Taxonomy and Systematics , but which I thought deserved further examination, for it’s one of those stories that defines the era in which we are living and birding.

Gulls in Larnaca, taken 22/02/2010 by ©Stavros Christodoulides Recognizing that gull identification is confusing doesn’t help your average birdwatcher however. Of course you could bring in here the debate over the whole subspecies concept: there are over 20 of these in the Herring gull-Lesser black-backed gull complex, so.
