Adam Bassett has sent in a sighting of Great Black Backed Gull P:82B, which has made a return visit to Little Marlow Gravel Pits Buckingham shire seen 10th March.

Since fledging in 2015 it has been seen at Little Marlow on 6 occasions, Axe Estuary Devon on 1 occasion,  Portland on 2 occasions and Stratford sub Castle near Salisbury on 2 occasions.

It would seem a strange route for a Sea Bird but is it? As we are reliant on sightings of colour ringed Birds to tell us where they go. The more sightings we and other studies get the more we learn of Bird movements in general, that is until satellite tracking costs tumble to affordable for all.
