A few more reports of our Mediterranean Gulls and Sandwich Terns.
We didn't have very many local sightings of Med Gulls after fledging. However a couple of birds turned up separately at Beacon Ponds, Kilnsea. There were also 3 individual one day only sightings of birds that passed through Boultham Mere, Lincolnshire, so apparently it's not unusual for them to head off inland. There were a couple of birds reported separately from Red Nab, Heysham on the west coast so perhaps taking into account other records they made a cross country movement. Today a further recovery (bird found dead) at Laytown Beach, Eire.
There have been a lot of Sandwich Tern sightings with birds heading north and south. Most recently there have been sightings from Dawlish Warren. There are certainly sites were a few of our birds get seen, although they are not usually with other marked birds from our project.
Furthest report to date, from Kartong, Gambia - KJ3 has already made it to Africa.
