 Two sightings of our Gulls who have led a very secretive life not giving many sightings.

Herring Gull 441 was ringed in June 2012 on the Break Waters of Portland Harbour. Our first sighting did not come in until 2018 when it was seen at Radipole lake in Weymouth. The next sighting was in 2019 again at Radipole then nothing until Richard Fairbanks sighted it again at Radipole on the 31st October 2022.

A Black Headed Gull we ringed in December 2010 at Radipole had its metal BTO ring read on the Chesil Beach Portland on the 2nd November 2022 by Debra Saunders. First sighting since ringing.
