Med Gull Catch

Out with the North Thames Gull Group this morning for a Med Gull attempt that resulted in three adult birds caught and colour ringed, June is a good time to catch these birds as they visit the tip in order to feed there young with just normally a two week window opportunity to do so.

    Those Med Gulls are really nice close up. I owuld never even have thought of ringing on a tip, but I suppose it's a great place to get them. From Findlay
