Amongst the small number of arrivals of
Lesser Black-backed Gulls in
Guernsey in the past 24 hours has come
Blue ACE - a bird ringed as an adult in November 2006 at
Bishop's Cleeve landfill, Cheltenham,
England by the Severn Estuary Gull Group. It was recorded there again (or at nearby Gloucester Landfill ) in the Novembers of 2007 and 2008 (John Sanders). I then saw this bird seven times at
Chouet, Guernsey between 14 February and 29 April 2009. It most probably nests in the
Channel Islands and winters around the SW of
England. In November and December 2009 John Sanders once again recorded
Blue ACE at Bishop's Cleeve landfill.

The only other new arrival seen today was White 8.Z4 which was ringed as an adult female on her nest on one of the Sark colonies in May 2009, and then recorded from 03/07/09 to 09/08/09 at Chouet, Guernsey. By 19/08/09 it was at Baldaio lagoon, Carballo, A Coruña, Spain (Xabi Varela).
