 Our Latest sighting comes from the North West corner of Dorset, from Chard Junction Quarry. Chard Junction is in Dorset, although the Town of Chard is over the border in Somerset, a little bit of rivalry for sure between the two.

It is Great Black Backed Gull P:13B who generated this latest sighting, ringed in June 2013 on the Portland Break Waters (Dorset as are all our GBBGull's) and this is our 4th sighting since then.

In 2014 it was seen on Looe island Cornwall, 2015 at Dawlish Warren Exe Estuary Devon, 2019 back on Portland Dorset at the south part of the island and now 2021 at Chard Junction Quarry.

A good example of the wide ranging travels under taken by Gulls.
