While counting birds for this months Teifi WeBS I picked out a colour-ringed Lesser Black-backed Gull. Green NA26 on the sand in front of The Webley Hotel (now The Teifi Waterside Hotel but I expect the old name will stick for a while)
A quick reply from Tim Frayling , the co-ordinator for the colour ringing project at Bowland Fells in Lancashire, informed me that it was ringed there on the 4th July 2019 and this was its first re-sighting. Bowland Fells is the largest Lesser Black-backed colony in the UK.
