    Blue 598, Bob? The Darvic is on the left leg so a Scottish bird.

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

    A bit late to the show but I reported and Osprey on 14 June at the Derwent reservoir, Northumberland with a potential ring number of 598. I have since found out this was ringed along with 2 siblings in 2021 on the Beauty River just west of Inverness. I also saw the same Osprey (confirmed ring number sighting in the same place on 4 August.
