Colour Ringed Med Gull

Hi All,

Just returned from a week in Cornwall during which I saw a Med Gull off Coverack nr the Lizard wearing a Green ring bearing the code RI6X. Can anyone help with tracing the origins of this gull please?

Many Thanks,

John.

Post the details on http://blx1.bto.org/euring/main/index.jsp

You will get the ringing details and the ringer will get a report of your sighting.

This will be a French ring and you will probably get a quicker reply if you email the project contact directly

A few of us collate records of Med Gull sightings in Cornwall, so if you can PM me details when you get them that'd be appreciated.
