It is quite some time since we last reported sightings of our Colour ringed Herring Gulls, happily we can now as we have two new sightings.

Herring Gull 628 ringed in June 2016 on the Break Waters. It was seen regularly on Portland during 2018, then on the Axe Estuary on one occasion at the end of December 2018.

The latest sighting is from Boulogne sur Mer France seen there by Patric Decory on the 25th April.

Herring Gull 588 ringed on the Break Waters in June 2018, has given its first sighting since then.
It was seen on the 29th April on Portland by Moira Jackson.

Where it has been in between times must remain a mystery.
