Thank's to Pascal Bounie we have another sighting of Great Black Backed Gull P:22B,  the long term resident at the Port of Sainte Guenole in Brittany or should that be Bretagne.

Seen by Pascal on the 16th April and this is our 22nd sighting from the Port. The first was in May 2015 following fledging in June 2014.

Another well established Great Black Backed Gull is P:73C, but it will have to find a new place to rest as Chouet Landfill on Guernsey is closing and being re landscaped.

Seen there by Wayne Turner on the 17th April.
