Foreign feel to some resightings

Having just received information back on most of the foreign-ringed birds that we've been seeing locally over the last week or so, we thought it'd be interesting to map them. This gives a really good idea of just where some of our wintering birds come from, of all sorts of species.

The latest batch of reports included:

• Lesser Black-backed Gull from Portugal
• Great Black-backed Gulls from Channel Islands and Wales
  
• Mediterranean Gulls from Belgium and Netherlands
• Black-headed Gull from Poland
  
• Curlew from Netherlands
• Cormorant from Ireland
