We are always happy to receive Gull sightings, Great Black Backed making up the majority (not a complaint you understand) so it is great when we receive Herring Gull sightings for a change.

Renaud Flamant sent us three sightings of Herring Gull 773 all from the car park next to Radipole Lake.

Seen 3rd,4th, & 5th December, so far all sightings of this Gull have been at Radipole Lake. It would be very easy to say this HG goes nowhere and stays in Weymouth all the time, although without more sightings from Weymouth or else where we can't be sure.

Another Herring Gull 809 ringed June 2019 on the Break Waters has made its second visit to Lower Compton Landfill near Bristol. Seen there by Nick Adams on the 4th December.

Gulls from Weymouth are frequent visitors to this Landfill, which goes some way to prove that the Gulls in Weymouth are not all sedentary.
