Moira Jackson sent in three sightings of our Gulls.

Great Black Backed Gull P:62B sighted near to Portland Bill 18th October, ringed on the Break waters June 2015.
Only previous sighting was at Coverack in Cornwall during February 2016, where has it been????

Also two sightings of our Weymouth Herring Gulls 729 & 744 both ringed this year, seen at Radipole Lake Weymouth.

Peter Rock had a sighting of Herring Gull 509 seen on the 19th October, it was ringed in June 2014 on the Break Waters.

Three sightings of this particular Herring Gull all from Lower Compton Landfill, one in 2016 & two in 2018 no sighting from 2017 although it may have been present. Logging colour rings in a cloud of  milling and feeding Gulls  is not an easy task.

Peter Rock and Nick Adams do so on a regular basis to monitor the Gulls on this Landfill.
