Firstly, the mystery songster near the Wath Ings hide was again heard tonight. Watch this space..........
Otherwise, the only real change was that a total of four Med' Gulls were seen (adult, two 2 cy's, one 3 cy).
This seems like a good time to look at the history of the bird with a yellow darvic ring 2E26 nicely illustrated by
Keith Pickerings photos below.

Ringed on The Mere at Old Moor on 9th July 2010, one of three birds and the first proven successfully reared Mediterranean Gulls in Yorkshire. Last seen on 9th August.
