Thanks to Mike Jackson for such a speedy reply regarding the Herring Gull with a Yellow Darvic Ring Y J88 that was seen on WRes. on Monday 08.01.18 by @Carloslad 91.
"Thank you for reporting your sighting of
a colour ringed Gull. It’s a bird which was colour-ringed
ringed at Harewood Whin landfill site, to the west of York, (53.960 -1.177).
The bird was caught using a Cannon Net and is one of around 2500 Gulls which
have been caught and colour ringed to date.
Harewood Whin is one of the decreasing number of Landfill sites in the UK where it is possible to operate for the catching and ringing of gulls. Whilst with us the gulls feed on the Landfill site during the day and roost on the floods in Lower Derwent Valley National Nature Reserve or on the Humber Estuary.

July 2017 and yours is the first sighting since it was rung
