The Gann

Managed an hour at lunchtime in the very pleasant sunshine.  Apart from 2 Brent Geese it was fairly quiet, but I did manage to read 3 colour ringed gulls, all familiar.

First up was Cornish ringed Herring Gull (blue W:572 otherwise known as Courtney, who left her GPS device on Middleholm).

Then Mediterranean Gull red ZHT4, ringed in the Czech Republic in 2019.  This was its sixth re-sighting at the Gann, the last exactly a year ago on 22/01/2021.

Finally Common Gull orange 2H79, which dropped in right next to red ZHT4.  Ringed on the Ythan Estuary in Scotland in 2016, the first re-sighting was at the Gann on 28/02/2021.

Starting to get the hang of using my new 'phone-scope adaptor...
