No, your second bird is a Black-headed Gull

Have I got it wrong? Is the second bird a Mediterranean?

Thanks for that reminder, Chris. I recall you posted before about this bird but I couldn't track down your report.

There was another ringed b-h gull at the country park but I couldn't get close enough to snap the numbers/letters.

Hi Jim,

Nice to know J68Y is back for another winter. It was ringed at Lade, Trondheim, Sør-Trøndelag, Norway on 09/06/18 and has been at Cleethorpes every winter since, mostly seen at the Country Park (where I've always encountered it). It presumably returns to the Trøndelag region each spring to breed as it's been seen back there a few times over the years.

Regards

Chris
