That is why I am so pleased to see the new “Gulls of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East: An Identification Guide” being illustrated with nearly 1400 colour photographs of the 45 species of gulls found in the Western Palearctic. And even the best of and the most respected painters are not spared of such scrutiny. Highly recommended.

I want to alert you to a recent study (from April) that looks at the plight of bird populations under conditions of climate change in Europe and North America. The study looked at common birds, and used data divided by either state (in the US) or country (in Europe). Again, Europe is on the left, North America is on the right.

When you spot a brand new bird identification guide, especially for your home region – in this case, Europe – reaching for it comes naturally. And that became heavier with each passing day… On the other hand, Europe’s Birds cover less than half of that number – 900+ species and a softback weighs 1.4 Highly recommended.

From the press release: Euro-MPs have voted overwhelmingly for a total ban on the trade in seal products across Europe. That's good news. A resolution at the end of a three-year campaign, triggered by a public outcry at the annual seal culls in Canada and Norway, condemned the slaughter of seals as "inherently inhumane".

For Europe, only very few books exist that cover the topic at all. So here it is, the review of Tracks and Signs of the Animals and Birds of Britain and Europe by Lars-Henrik Olsen. Was this going to be just another British-centred book of little use to the rest of Europe? Well, first things first: the book’s title.

It was not my first time birding in Europe, and my work obligations only allowed me to get out four too-brief times in nine days. And when an American or Latin American birds Europe, what appear to be common species can still be lifers. Even so, I was able to see 54 species, of which fully half were lifers.

No, seriously, a brown warbler with stripes in central Europe really means you are either looking at a Grasshopper Warbler or a Sedge Warbler. However, these are so rare in most of Europe that thinking you are looking at one essentially means you are fooling yourself and should return to considering Sedge and Grasshopper Warblers again.

In order to offset the loss of the seal product market in Europe, Canada has made a deal with China. I'm not surprised. China as a whole still doesn't have a national conscience about these issues. Although 40 Chinese animal rights groups have protested, they don't really have any political or financial clout to change anything.
