    All of the above today plus 2 Little Terns at Long Eaton GP's (Pylon Pit). Would make a nice addition to the patch list if I can get down there! Sam

    Well the Notts Spion Kop escapee has been on walkabout this last week so I'd put money on it being this bird. The Lound bird also had a small ring so one and the same I'd guess... Sam

    Yeah that was me Steve! Dan I see your point but if you're stood under a tree in the rain watching them and they choose to land above you there's not much you can do is there! ;) Sometimes things sound worse than they are...... Sam

    Hi Dan, Any idea if the site is regularly watched? Am not too experienced with gulls, and although I know the difference between Casp, Herring etc. It would be very useful to have a helping hand. Cheers, Sam

    Nice to finally meet you too Dan! Was quite an easy game actually. To back up your later point of showing well here's one uncropped (well just cropped widthways) shot of the Rough-leg taken with a 250mm lens on the Sunday. To anyone unsure about going that pic was taken with the bird no more...

    Depends on the ring. Obviously BTO rings etc are fine but thin colour rings etc arent, as these rings are the one showing them to be of captive origin. A couple of pics would show what I mean...

    Must've been there about the same time as me. I'm not hard to miss - teen in a hunting jacket with my dad in full camo. Saw it twice on the deck: once in front of the sailing club and refound again later by me for c5 secs under a willow and only seen be 4 people (the last sighting before the...
