Despite tricky conditions for observing, an hour at Chouet after dawn this morning was very well rewarded with a count of more than
120 Lesser Black-backed Gulls (in the landfill and on the beach). This included
13 of my colour ringed adults. This brings the total number of returning adult colour ringed
LBBGs seen so far this spring to
32. Three of the
eight birds seen for the first time today had been recorded abroad during the winter - two in Portugal (
White 3.U0 and
White 9.T5) and one in Spain (
Black 2.K9).
