Rufford Gulls - 24th September 2023

 Despite being on "grandad duty" this weekend, I did manage to get a very quick (half an hour) trip to Rufford in. It was my first since the end of August, and it was very quiet, with just 26 Black-headed Gulls, 4 Canada Geese and 6 Mallards present! Despite this, I managed to spot a couple of green-ringed gulls.

The two gulls seen were 293A and 207C. Both birds are well known, and regular winter visitors to the area. 

293A was ringed, as an adult, in December 2021, and has been recorded 22 times at Rufford.

207C was ringed, also as an adult, in December 2022, and has been reported 8 times since then.
