 With all the tragic news of the loss of our Seabirds to AI, it is nice to receive some sightings of Gulls still alive and well.

Alison Maparura sighted Herring Gull 559 ringed in 2016 on leaving rehab. Seen once in 2016 then the next sighting was in 2018 and now the third sighting this year in Swanage Dorset on the 9th August.
