Gull-live
Welcome to Gull-live-pages!
Update 7.8.2024
Camera has now taken away. Total about 6 LBBG fledged.
PTZ camera had a tour of 4 – 6 stops. It stayed 15-60 in those sights.
There was 1.5. about 15 LBBGs and 20HGs. HGs were mostly on cliff.
Gull-live camera was taken to use 15.4.2024 in a Islet in North Karelia. .
Camera had VARELY permit (96/2024).
There was some breaks in the streams, because of weak coverage (4G goes to 3G) or low solar power.

Information about Gull-live
I established LokkiLive-pages (=GullCam) to inform about nominate LBBG in Finland (Red listed as Endangered, EN). >>https://www.lokkilive.fi/
Now you can have a look into LBBG and HG colony life in a lake islet in Easter Finland. There are usually near 20 LBBG and 5 HG nests in the island. You can also look pics in the Finnish pages anyway.
At the moment there is peaceful. Let us hope that Sea Eagles (White-tailed Eagles) do no come to the colony. They robbed a colony near Joensuu. Now there are no suitable colonies near Joensuu.

Have a nice season! Between rainy and windy days I have managed to count gulls by driving nearly 1000 km by my water-jet.
You can comment these in FaceBook group ”Lokkikamera” (>https://www.facebook.com/groups/630073394173330/) or in my FB (Risto Juvaste)

Content: Lokkilive.fi bird cameras (4 live cameras). Cormorant, sea eagle, gull, midsummer, archipelago. Nature video (8min, three versions, in Finnish and Swedish and as a pure original) composed of pictures, background information and live camera material.
Pictures and videos from the summer 2020 materials:
The video and images contain rather crude-looking prey scenes as dozens of sea urchins eat cormorant chicks. During the week, up to 200 sea eagles went for “seagull fights” (“logging” is a term used by fishermen for a situation where a swarm of fish on the surface quickly gathers dozens of seagulls and terns to prey). Images can upset some viewers. The material is based on the material of the Sea Camera in Kvarken. The cameras were licensed by landowners and VARELY / 219/2020.
Cameras 2021:
In 2021, Lokkilive will have 4 live cams. Now (3.8.2021) they have been largely removed. When the sea camera was exported on 11 May 2021, there were about 80 sea gulls, 480 gray gulls and about 100 nest structures on the camera island. The entire cormorant community was finally destroyed on June 19, 2021 during a sea eagle visit. At that time, the gray gulls managed to rob even the last eggs. Cormorants moved elsewhere. It can be seen from the sea lilies that their white nesting hives are empty. The cameras are licensed by landowners and VARELY / 290/2021.
The releases contain a lot of background information on the situation in 2020 and 2021.
Gulls in Finland
Selkälokki (frakkipukuinen)
Kalalokki (jokapaikan lokki)
Merilokki (luotojen kunkku)
Naurulokki (kolonialokki)
Harmaalokki (arkilokki)
Pikkulokki (hyönteislokki)
Selkälokki - Suomalaisin lintumme
Näistä selkälokki on ”suomalaisin lintumme”. Sen alalajeista mustaselkäisimmän, suomenselkälokin (Larus fuscus fuscus) populaatiosta suhteellisesti eniten pesii Suomessa (noin 7000 paria, noin puolet maailmankannasta). Se oli ennen yleisin selkävesien lokki, mutta sen kannat ovat romahtaneet, joten se on luokiteltu erittäin uhanalaiseksi. Mentäessä itään tai länteen alalajien selät muuttuvat hieman vaaleammiksi (tuhkaselkälokkeja). Niiden populaatiot ovat suuria ja elinvoimaisia. Merilokit ovat isompia ja myös hieman vaaleaselkäisempiä kuin suomenselkälokki. Harmaalokit ovat vielä vaaleampia, niitäkin on useita lajeja ja risteymiä. Harmaa- ja selkälokit kilpailevat samoista pesimispaikoista. Kalalokit muistuttavat harmaalokkeja , mutta ovat pienempi. Nauru- ja pikkulokit ovat tummapäisiä. Perhosmaisella pikkulokilla on tummat siivenaluset. Nuoret lokit ovat ruskeankirjavia, mutta sulkivat (muuttuvat) vähitellen aikuispukuun.
Valtaosa selkälokeistamme muuttaa sydäntälveksi Afrikkaan, pääosin päiväntasaajan alueen suurille järville. Muut lokit jäävät enimmäkseen Eurooppaan (ks Selkälokit Afrikassa).Tumma selkä ja siiven päällyset kestävät hyvin päiväntasaajan kovaa UV-säteilyä.
Lue lisää lokeista vaikkapa Wikipediasta. Selkälokista ks. BirdLife: ” Vuoden lintu 2013: selkälokki on taantunut lähes viidenneksen”.

Saukon toinen? käynti. Klo 21:47:50 se vilahtaa oikealla olevalla kalliolla ja noin minnuuttia myhemmin auringonlaskun kohdalla. lokkien syöksyily paljastaa paikan. Tämä on vasta toinen kerta kun havaitsen kaikki lokit ilmassa, mikä kertoo poikkeustilanteesta.
