COLOUR-RINGED MEDITERRANEAN GULL

Chris Bird noted a Med. Gull on College Rocks, Aberystwyth on 3rd September with a
red ring PHY1. Today I got the details back from Poland where the bird had been ringed as a chick on 13th June 2007 at Nowe Grochale, Wisla River, Warsaw.
It was seen subsequently in Fishguard harbour on 28th December 2007, 12th August 2008 and 28th July and 9th August 2010 (often by Richard Dobbins) before it flew north to Aberystwyth.
