Two sightings from Lee Collins at Dawlish Warren on the Exe Estuary in Devon.

Great Black Backed Gull P:89A was seen there on the 23rd November the second sighting from Dawlish. The majority of previous sightings have come from the Axe Estuary also in Devon.

Great Black Backed Gull P:73C seen on the 29th November. Since ringing as a Pulli all sightings have come from the Channel island of Guernsey. Until now with this the first sighting away from the Island. 

May be it leaves the island in between recorded sightings or it is possibly due to the reported dispersal associated with the final closure of Chouet Landfill which has been very popular place over many years with Gulls from all over Europe.

If we are lucky with sightings we may one day answer that question.
