A Jersey ringed Herring Gull was found in a small yard in Weymouth, Dorset with another Herring Gull.

The Jersey HG was ringed with a White Niger Darvic OHS5 this was found to be damaged and was replaced with one of our HG Darvic's it is now Niger White 794. This was done to make it easier to send on any further sightings to the ringer or ringers once we know their contact details.

Unfortunately the other HG which was unrung, had suffered a broken wing it is receiving Veterinary treatment although the outcome is not likely to be good.

Great Black Backed Gull P:83C was sighted by Michael Lewis at Man Sands Brixham Devon on the 3rd July. The second sighting since ringing in June 2018, the first sighting was also from Devon in April this year.
