From time to time Ian MacLean sends in sightings of our Gulls on the Axe Estuary in Devon.

Great Black Backed Gull P:08A seen 28th January is a regular visitor to the Axe with 80+ sightings to date and only one of those away from the Axe on the Exe Estuary.

Great Black Backed Gull P:42D ringed June 2019 as a Pulli was seen on the 24th January, this is the first sighting since ringing.

Great Black Backed Gull P:62A another regular on the Axe with a visit's to Cornwall and to Chard in Somerset. To the North and inland.

 Herring Gull 805 which we ringed on the Break Waters as a Pulli in June 2019, has produced its second sighting since then.

The first sighting was inland at Chard Reservoir on the border of Somerset and Dorset in September 2019.

It has continued its relationship with inland sites, with the second sighting on the 5th February 2020 seen at Park Grounds Landfill near Bristol. Sighting by Peter Rock.

Always nice to receive a sighting of a Herring Gull either they are better at hiding their rings to observers or are not as interesting. We are interested in Both the Gull species we ring, always happy to receive sightings.

Herring Gull 420 was ringed as a 1st year at Radipole Lake Weymouth during December 2011, seen there again during May 2012 and since then regularly on the Hayle Estuary in Cornwall.

The latest sighting coming from Jane Duffy and Stan Christophers seen on the 4th February in the Hayle Estuary.
