Last Thursday, 28th October, Andy Bennett found a colour-ringed Mediterranean Gull when he and his dad Paul were scanning College Rocks.
White 37LK was ringed pre-fledging on 11/06/20 at a new wetland created as compensation for industrial and port development at Antwerp. Next seen 20/09/20 at Chew Valley Lake, Somerset, it's only previous appearance before being found by Andy and Paul at Aberystwyth.
Thanks to John Davis for the above information and for tracing the origins of this bird..
Apart from ringing details, it can be aged as a 2nd winter by the dark markings on the outer primaries.
