Wow..it's been a really difficult season to get the ringing work completed...but we are just about there now. Trips to Burhou, Alderney and Sark have resulted in just over 200 Lesser Black-backed Gull chicks being ringed, which given the persistently wet, windy and cool weather throughout the season has been something of a triumph for the parent gulls! As a finale the small Guernsey Gulls Team took a catch of 50 full grown gulls in the garden this morning - a wonderful end to a very rewarding season!

Well done Paul (and team)! Great work.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Kev. It was some season! It is amazing at the moment just how different each one feels. Now I dust down the telescope and look forward to recording the birds again!
