Great Black Backed Gull P:41C has a liking for the London and Home Counties, since ringing in June 2016 there has been more sightings of this Gull in and around London than anywhere else.

The first sighting came in 2016 from Rotherhithe London part of the Old London Docklands. In 2017 it was down on the Axe estuary in Devon.

2018 it was seen at a Landfill at Bexley South East London  and back on Portland. 2019 it had moved round to Buckinghamshire and Little Marlow, seen there twice. Up into Hertfordshire in 2020 then over to Guernsey before returning to Hertfordshire and Stockers Lake Rickmansworth where it was sighted by Paul Graham on the 1st December.
