As we have mentioned here in the past all sightings are very welcome of our Gulls, that's the way we all learn.

Some give regular sightings some wait up to 5 years before giving a sighting, then we have the exceptional.

Great Black Backed Gull P:30A is one of these exceptional Gulls, ringed June 2012 as a Pulli on the Break Waters one of our first back at the start of our project.

Seen on Guernsey on 4 occasions during 2013 then nothing until June 2016

Shaun Robson found it at Lychett Bay Poole Harbour June 2016

Then once more nothing until

Ian Ballam found it back in Lychett Bay on the 11th June 2023 a gap of 7 years with no news.

For our project a great record for our data base.
