This site should help:
http://www.cr-birding.be/ Having had a quick look, your ring fits quite well with the ringing scheme for Herring Gulls at Landguard. |

It also looks very similar to ones used by Pete Rock in Bristol. I haven't seen Pete for a few years and I don't know if he is still doing his gull study.

This is possibly an Orfordness bird, as they've used red in the past. But report it online via www.ring.ac and you should hear back relatively quickly as the Suffolk guys are very efficient.
