Black-headed Gull EY13347

On Saturday I was walking around along the cliff tops in Seahouses, Northumberland when I spotted a Black-headed Gull wearing a metal ring. I got some bread, and, after about 20 minutes, managed to get enough photos to read the number; EY13347.

EY13347

I sent the record off to the BTO, and heard back that the bird had been ringed by The Natural History Society of Northumbria, as a pullus, on Inner Farne (2km away) on 3rd July 2014 (1787 days ago). Not the furthest ever recovery, but still very interesting to see,
