Whilst at Queen Elizabeth II Country Park today, Jayne and I spotted a darvic-ringed Black-headed Gull, 2JR0.
Black-headed Gull 2JR0
After a quick internet search, it appears that it was ringed by Clyde Ringing Group. Details were sent off, and I found out that this bird had been ringed, as an adult, at Linlithgow Loch, Falkirk, Scotland on 29th December 2022. Since ringing, it has been reported twice in Sweden (during the summer, so presumably a breeding bird there), and several times at Killingworth Lake, Tyne and Wear. My record was the first for the Country Park.
