Common Gull

The Norwegian ringing set up allows you to report direct to their website with immediate feedback. So, Common Gull JOVX, at Newport this morning, with about 100 other Commons in a huge, constantly changing flock of mostly Black headed & Herrings, was ringed as a chick in SW Norway, in July 14 & this is the 1st report away from that area. This is quite close to the source of the only other darvic ringed Common Gull that I have seen at Newport, J7VR, which was here in Dec 12 & Jan 14.
Also present at least 2 ad Meds & 3 of the local Gloucester landfill Herring Gulls.
