Encouraging comments about entries are welcome.
If you enter the challenge, take the time to vote on other entries! This will hopefully counteract the sandbaggers' votes which spoil the genuine results for everyone's entries.
Sandbagging, and vote solicitation will cause DQ'ing of entries, so don't even contemplate it!
Entrants or voters caught cheating will be unwelcome in my future challenges.
Rare birds are encouraged.

Wow, some phenomenal photos here.

One of your additional rule " Ordinary birds like pigeons and sparrows are not allowed" is a litlle bit confusing. IMO seagull is quite ordinary everywhere.
