As directed by Freddy, news from Barton this evening as follows;

The Bonapartes Gull put in another - albeit very brief, appearance when it was spotted on Chowder Ness by Craig Nimick ast 7.05 p.m. I had just arrived and missed it!
Fewer other gulls around with just a couple of first-summer Med's the only ones of interest.

strangely in 100+ hours in the last 2 weeks there has been just one 3cy Med (second summer) and that was on June 26th - not a lot today just 5 2cy Meds and the red ringed adult

Details of a Med Gull colour ring sighting at Chowder Ness by Barry clarkson ended up in my in tray.

Barry had the bird on June 29th colour ring - WHITE 3A47
It was ringed in Belgium on 14/05/2000 and visited Snettisham in 2000 and Blackpill in 2001. Then it was mostly seen in Belgium before turning up in Lincs this year.
We have also had a Polish colour ringed Med Gull at Gib recently and I'm awaiting ringing details. So not only Homo Sapiens from Eastern Europe turning up here!!

also a Polish ringed adult at Barton last week Red left PKP? -- I assume this must be different to the Gib bird --

Of the colour ringed Lesser Black-backs seen at Barton in the last 10 days origins are Walney Island, Gloucestershire, the Thames basin and 2 from Norway the locations of which will be interesting with regard to racial ID --
