Not all our recoveries are happy ones. Louise Pritchard found the remains of a Great Black Backed Gull P:15C on the Beach at Sidmouth Devon some time prior to the 24th July.

It was long dead, ringed as a Pulli in July 2019 on the Portland Harbour Break Waters.

This was the first information we had received on this Gull since it was ringed. Not a long history sadly for this Gull.

As with all sightings of our Gulls they are of interest to our study.

Colour ring projects can be found on the c-r Birding web site.
