This black-headed gull was on the car park at the flash today. It's
wearing a ring on it's left leg and was ringed as a chick in Finland. I
took a few photos from different angles to try to get the ring number but
unfortunately it appears that I'm missing a digit so it can only be narrowed
down to two possibilities. The first is ST170852 ringed at Sipoo, Finland on
23/06/2020 or ST270852 ringed at Hyvinkää, Finland on 10/06/2009. It seems
most likely that the bird is the Sipoo individual because the other bird
hasn't been reported anywhere since it was ringed 13 years ago. Both these
ringing locations are in southern Finland, approximately 1130 miles from the
Flash. I'll be keeping a look out for the bird over the next few days in the
hope that I can confirm the missing digit.
Also today, 10 female / 1st winter goosanders, 8 pochard including six males,
90 pink-footed geese over south, 80 redwing south a at least three willow tits
and three kingfishers around flash.
