Nevern Estuary, Sunday – Ringed Mediterranean Gull

There were at least three Mediterranean Gulls at Nevern estuary yesteday around 3pm on the gravel just down from the iron bridge. One was ringed, black characters on yellow,  A3LH I think. It was scared off by a crow before I could get a picture.

Hendrik of the German Med Gulls ringing project has reported that it was ringed 18.06.2022 as a pullus at Löbnitz Gravel Pit, Colony, Leipzig, Sachsen, 1191km from Newport. The bird looked older than that to me, so I hope I did not misread it. If anybody else sees it, can they check the code please.
