With a poor start to Novembers ringing at Jerbourg with high winds and rain a phone call
from Paul Veron yesterday to see if I was up to some Gull ringing we were hoping to start
a new project with colour ringing Black headed gulls but decided that we would go for
large Gulls in Paul Verons garden we met this morning at 7.30 with Phil Alexander a trainee
Paul had already baited the trapping aera it was not long before Gulls started coming in
within about half an hour we had about a hundred Gulls in the aera and about 60 +
in the trapping aera and decided to take the catch with 65 new Herring gulls of witch 49
were first year birds and 6 second year birds and a pleasant surprise with a single adult

Black headed gull gave us a start to the Black headed gull ringing project
