I proceeded to take a few more photos, including this one. I am not entirely sure what is so attractive about this bush but a few gulls went and ate a few leaves off it.
Then on the panel with a few others (there was an exceptionally high number of them that day):
If you look closely at the one ready to land, you can glimpse an orange ring, and there it is, obvious once the bird had landed.
For once, the ring was very easy to read: YW3.T. I got the info back overnight: this Herring Gull was ringed at Pitsea Landfill site in November and mine was the first reading since. Map here.
Is that profile good for you?
I'm hoping that, like A6LK, it'll stick around and I can follow its progress from time to time.
