Gull-rings around Aveiro, Portugal (September 11, 2014)



Gulls arriving at the Eirol landfill. We managed to read 64 rings between 07:35 - 13:15, all on Lesser Black-backed Gulls. Roughly 6000 gulls were present at the site. Many birds left the site early, presumably due to the lack of garbage being delivered to the open dump.






Xavega fishery at Praia da Vagueira. 5 rings were read between 14:00 -15:15, all on Lesser Black-backed Gulls. 150 gulls were present, primarily LBBG.




Blue 23 at Praia da Vagueira, ringed in the southwest of The Netherlands.




Red VB1.T at Praia da Vagueira. Ringed at a landfill site in Greater London, UK.




Reading rings at Porto de Pesca, Gafanha da Nazaré. 8 rings were read there, 5 on LBBG, 3 on Yellow-legged Gulls. Gulls not counted.
