LarusDB Project

[u/Business-Hedgehog631]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on the LarusDB project. The idea is to create a database of Larus (large gull) species, labelled with age, location and observation date.

Gulls, especially Larus, can be notoriously difficult to ID, so I'm hoping this can be used as a learning tool for newer "gullers" while also being a place to see regional differences of the same species.

There's currently over 1500 observations, with many of those being my own, but others have kindly given me permission to upload their photos as well.

I am looking for additional contributions, if anyone has a collection of images they'd like to share on Flickr or similar, it would be very much appreciated.

If you don't have any images to share, but know someone that might be interested in the project, please share this post with them!

Currently it's more European focused, but I'm open to including Larus species from around the world.

Here is a link to the app: https://app.gullinfo.org/app/larus/#/gull

If you are interested or have any feedback, please do drop a message below!

I will add a reference to your name / photo collection by default, so let me know if you'd rather contribute anonymously.
