It is rare we get Herring Gull sightings so it is always good news when one comes in. Herring Gull 535 hadn't been sighted since ringing in June 215. 

That was until the 8th January 2022 when it was sighted at Lubeck-Wakenitz Germany sighting sent in by Institut für Vogelforschung "Vogelwarte Helgoland
