Every time I visit Rufford, I seem to be spotting more and more of "our" green-ringed Black-headed Gulls. Last week's visit, was no different, with no fewer than 24 birds, spotted, including one not seen for three years!!
Birds seen were: 206A, 259A, 273A, 295A, 298A (my first sighting since being ringed in 15th December 2021, but, annoyingly, no photo!), 208B (ringed in January 2022, and this was only the second sighting, last seen at Clumber, in March 2023), 265B (ringed on 5th November 2022. This was only the second sighting, having last been seen, at Center Parcs on 2nd December 2022. This was my first sighting at Rufford), 272B, 280B (ringed by me in November 2022, and a regular visitor ever since), 202C, 207C, 258C, 264C, 270C, 298C, 207F, 219F, 223F, 230F, 234F, 239F, 255F (my first sighting, ringed on 30th November 2024, as a 3, i.e. born this year), 261F and 262F (both fist sightings, and both also ringed on 30th November 2024, as 3s).
