Long distance Black Headed Gull

An ad BH Gull, at Newport on Oct 16, had a black ring K052. I couldn't find this scheme in cr-birding so had to submit it via the BTO. Details have now arrived.
It was ringed as an adult in May 2019 in Novgorod, about 1/2 way between Moscow & St Petersburg.
I think this is by far the most distant ringed BHG I have picked up.
