Message: <blockquote data-quote="Marmot" data-source="post: 816901" data-attributes="member: 5194">There is some really impressive ages on some of them. When we were in Cala Bona, Mallorca in Sept 06 (we go there every year though) we came across quite a few ringed Audouins Gulls.  We reported them to ESTEBANNIC (BF member in Mallorca) who in turn passed them onto Database at the Biological institute in Doñana National Park (Southern Spain).  One  we saw - MP2 - was ringed on an islet off the coast of Formentera (near Ibiza) on 15/06/1995 - the 3rd sighting of this 11 year old bird!.....We will be keeping an eye open for him when we return later this year, lets hope he survives for another 10+ years to get to take the record (20yrs 11mths)</blockquote>
