Lots of rings

The past two weeks have been very busy, with many c-ring read. Apart from many (mainly local) Herring gulls, good numbers of LBBG's are passing through at the moment, resulting in some nice rings. Below I give a short summary of the rings from the past weeks:

Herring:
Belgian: 66
Dutch: 16
French: 1
British: 1
Total: 84

LBBG:
Belgian: 12
Danish: 6
Dutch: 6
German: 2
British: 1
French: 1
Norwegian: 1
Spanish: 1 (wingtag)
Total: 30

GBBG:
Norwegian: 5
Total: 5

Some days 100's of LBBG's were present, so still many birds have to get to their wintering grounds, all Spanish ring-readers can expect lots of birds to arrive within the following days/weeks!

  2. Hi Antonio,

    thanks for your comment. Great that you saw these birds before, so they surely are on their way to Spain, let's hope you can find them again this winter!
