Caspian gull, Peniche

17/2/2019

Some images of the Caspian Gull (Larus cachinnans) that appeared yesterday (16th February 2019) at the mouth of the São Domingos stream (Peniche). The bird was ringed yellow (P:U07) and information was already sent to the project in Poland.

This proved to be a very mobile bird, flying from Poland to the UK, then Portugal, the Netherlands, England, Belgium and France. Your images show y[P:U07] in 1st cycle plumage; we had it a year later, in 2nd cycle plumage in the Netherlands:

Keep up the good work reading ringed gulls, Helder!
Cheers, Mars
