Received some news over the past weeks about a few more colour ringed gull sightings.
Most recent was the information for a Herring Gull which was seen on the 27th September. It was originally ringed at Pitsea Landfill Site in Essex on 6th March 2010. It was the first sighting of this bird since it was ringed.
Recent Med Gull sightings include R60N (Green). This was also the first sighting of this bird which was ringed at Conchil le Temple, Pas de Calais, FRANCE on the 11/06/2010.
We've also had R67K (Green) which was ringed at the same place on the 22/06/2010. It was re-sighted on 23/07/2010 nearby at Le Portel, Pas-de-Calais
The most interesting sighting recently was a Yellow legged Gull with a yellow ring on. Its from the the Camargue but haven't got the details yet.
