All sightings are of interest especially so with Herring Gulls as they don't seem to be as popular as Great Black Backed Gulls, as a result we have a lower number of sightings.

Waste treatment sites help in producing sightings one very popular site with the Gulls is the one at Lower Compton near to Bristol, which is checked on a regular basis by Peter Rock and Nick Adams and we among others benefit from there observations.

Herring Gull 509 returned there on 25th January lured along with other Gulls by the culinary delights on offer.

It has been seen there in previous years 2016, 2018, & January 2019, after which it was seen on the Lower Test Marshes at Southampton that was in February 2019 then nothing until this year.
