Audouin's Gull In Spain

Not sure if this is the right forum but here's an Audouin's Gull photographed today at the Clot de Galvany nature reserve near Alicante. As far as I can make it out, the ring reads AWYN on the right leg, there is a smaller ring also on the left leg.

Can anyone shed light on the ringing history of this bird? Thanks!

Thanks Jonny, that looks useful - as it's a four-digit white ring with black lettering I'll drop an e-mail to the suggested address.
