Some Recent Colour Rings

To add to the collection of European rung Black-headed Gulls seen since June, a Danish bird turned up on October 12th.  It had a white ring with black 507 on its right leg.  It was ringed as a 3cy+ female on 27th March 2011 at Svanemollebugten, Copenhagen.  5 subsequent sightings in the same area preceded this one, the last on 7th April 2012.

Slightly obscured!
This joins ringed birds from Lithuania, Poland, Germany and France - but still none from Britain!

That was until today! White 507 was present again and so too was white 27J4.  This bird appears to be from the Cotswold WP - details awaited.
