I have mentioned to many about the fish processing factory at Newquay, which spews fish waste down the cliff. Nice for gulls! A message received today of 1 ad. Iceland Gull there. If you are passing down the coast road, the site is well worth the detour if you have a bit of time.
Med. Gull AALL;
I first saw this bird as an ad. 1/11/2007 in Fishguard harbour.
This week it was seen in Aberystwyth (3/03/2008).
It was ringed as an ad. at a fairly new but growing colony on an island in the Elbe estuary, Germany in 2006. This is the German ringers first record from Ceredigion & they are very happy!
Pembs. & other S. wales sites have seen birds from this colony previously. 26 of the 29 ad.'s that they ringed in 2006 have been re-sighted.
This photo is of the Med. Gulls, surrounded by some of the 4000 pairs of Common Gulls they breed on the island with!
