Had an interesting week, researching ringing details- 1 of the gulls Isaw last week came from Holland/Belgium area, seems to have a pattern of visiting West UK in autumn, Spain in early spring & back home for the summer. It was ringed as a chick in 2004, & has been recorded 13 times.
The second bird may have been ringed in Southern Norway & last week`s sighting may have been the 1st - awaiting further info. There`s a website, some of you may know, regarding colour rings & numbers at http://www.cr-birding.be/ which will take you straight to the people concerned.
Also thanks to Richard & Sam for their help.
