A question I've (rhetorically) asked before re ringed gulls. Case in point; Herring Gull White 2PH, at Newport yesterday, was ringed as a subadult at a Gloucester landfill site in March 04. There were then nearly 50 sightings at the same site in subsequent winters till Dec 2010. Then nothing till the sighting in Newport nearly 8 years later.
Today by the bridge 3 Greenshanks, 2 Whimbrel, a 2cy Med & a juv Common Gull & the Iceland Gull of a couple of days ago ( which is a different bird to the Iceland Gull I saw there in April & May, which was completely white), were noteworthy.
