Gann - ringed Med Gull bonanza

Plenty of gulls on the beach at low tide at the Gann late afternoon, surprisingly approachable.  Started by finding a Skokholm-ringed Great Black-backed Gull (2CY), W:324 I think.



Although the blustery winds made reading rings very difficult indeed, we think we managed to successfully read 4 Mediterranean Gulls as follows:

2CY yellow AZPA (Germany)
Adult white 3KR5 (Belgium)
Adult white 3J23 (Belgium)
Adult red PNE4 (Poland, presumably the bird recorded on Wednesday & Thursday)

Tremendous fun & utterly fascinating! (Dave & Lisa)
