North Norfolk Black-headed Gull project - a first resighting, 9th August 2022

 We are very excited to receive news of a Black-headed gull mist netted and ringed in our very own back garden, and marked for the project with a white print on red darvic ring on 6th June 2022. This is the first confirmed resighting for the project and 2C18 has travelled 279Km to the River Lune, Lancaster, Lancashire. This north westerly movement is not quite what we would have expected as an initial record for the study. We expected reports from the coast, but mostly likely on the east coast or even from across the channel.
