Amongst the colour ringed birds on the car park at Pennington Flash today, there was a black-headed gull wearing a metal ring on it's left leg ST170852. This bird was ringed as a nestling at Sipoo, Finland 60°14′N 25°22′E on 23/06/2020 which is approximately 1130 miles from the Flash. I first saw it at the flash on 03/11/2022 but despite looking through the gulls almost daily ever since, this is only my second sighting. There are at least two other metal ringed birds on the car park, but both of these have rings on their right legs. One is the long staying bird from Holland, the other I haven't managed to read it's ring yet.
