J02P

This Lesser Blacked-backed Gull (left black ring J02P, white lettering) was seen at Broom GP on 9th August 2010, but originally ringed on the tiny island of Rauna off the Norwegian coast on 4th July 2007. This is the second ringed intermedius I've seen from Norway, the other was a few years ago now though, but both were at Broom.

KY.AL

This Lesser Black-backed Gull hasn't come very far - just across the water from Zeebrugge, Belguim. He (white on dark blue on right leg up KY.AL) was ringed on 6th July 2002, and spent most of last winter near Malaga, Spain. I saw him at Kempston, Beds, on 2nd August 2010.

F.AAL

This lady Lesser Black-backed Gull was ringed on Texel, The Netherlands on 16th May 2009, and photographed near Kempston, Beds, 2nd August 2010.

She's hopefully the first of a few colour-ringed LBB's I've seen recently to get their life histories back on. The map below shows how far she's come. Many thanks to Kees Camphuysen for a very quick response to my email.
