06-09-2015 Black-headed Gull, Backwell (Thomas Michael)

"I was amazed to see the report (22/1/22) of a Black-headed Gull with yellow ring 2KRK. I first reported this bird at BLR on 6/9/2015 I found that that it had been ringed at the exotic(!) Pitsea landfill site near Basildon, Essex, on 21/3/15.

I subsequently reported it at the lake on 16/9/15; 23/9/15; 6/8/16; 12/8/16; 21/8/16; 19/9/16; 1/10/16; 3/10/16 and 28/12/16. So to have it visit 6 years+ later seems remarkable."
