Sightings generated by some of our c-r Gulls on the Axe Estuary Devon during the last week.

Great Black Back Gulls

P:83A on the 16th, 17th & 20th Jan
P:30B on the 19th Jan
P:97A on the 19th Jan

As has been mentioned previously this site is under development, being a blog for sightings we are reliant on Birders sending in their sightings for which we are very grateful of the time they put in.

We are always looking for ways to make it more interesting.  As with all colour ring sightings and ringing more questions are generated than answered, for instance the following three Gulls.

P:08A Ringed as a Pulli June 2012, then no information until October 2014 with the first of 64 sightings to date. Impressive, yes but except for one sighting at Dawlish Warren Devon, the other 63 sightings have been on the Axe Estuary…..!!!!!

P:99A ringed as a Pulli June 2014, first sighting March 2015 Quiberon Brittany France, second sighting 19th Jan 2017 on the Axe Estuary.

Herring Gull 473 ringed in Seaton Devon next to the Axe Estuary, Last seen November 2016 and next sighting 19th Jan 2017 on the same Estuary

Where do they go in between times?
