Dutch Black-headed Gull

 The colour ringed Black-headed Gull below was first ringed (as White EA4F) in May 2014 at Griend in Holland. It was then seen at Little Marlow GP in the 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 winter before returned to Terschelling in Holland in April 2018 presumably to breed.  It then returned to Little Marlow GP in the winter of 2018/2019 and was also seen once on the nearby Jubilee River.  Then is was seen again at Little Marlow in the 2019/2010 winter before returning to Griend in Holland, where it was hatched, in June 2020.  Here it was caught and a new ring fitted (White EK8X) as the old ring was in poor condition.  The photos below were taken at Little Marlow in November 2020 although the firts character "E" does rather look like an "I".  See the map below.
