I received some sad news about Black-headed Gull V77K today.
Unfortunately, a dead gull was reported at Center Parcs this week. When its body was recovered it was found to be this Danish-ringed bird. The finder, Mike, said that it was mainly bones and just a few feathers, so the chances are it died earlier in the year.
The bird had originally been ringed in June 2015, 911km away on the island of Hirsholm, Denmark. My first sighting was at Rufford Park on 19th February 2019 and I saw it every winter since. The last sighting was at Center Parcs was on 7th March 2023. I last saw it, at Rufford, on 19th February 2023.
