 A Great Black Backed Gull sighting and a Herring Gull sighting the first HG for some time.

Great Black Backed Gull P:20B hadn't produced a sighting since 2018 and before that 2016 originally ringed in June 2014. That was until 3rd January 2022 Allan Reese found it in flock of Gulls in the Dorchester area of Dorset. Allan sent us a Photo taken at a long distance and naturally there was apiece of grass partially obscuring what we decided  after studying the photo was a P.

Nick Adams and Peter Rock sighted Herring Gull 812 back at Lower Compton waste treatment site near to Bristol. Seen on 4th January 2022.

Ringed in June 2019 and all 3 sightings have come from Lower Compton.
