Colour ringed Gulls - Radipole Lake - Weymouth wetlands

Weymouth wetlands

Do you love our nature reserves at Radipole Lake and Lodmoor? Share your thoughts with the community. Or if you're thinking about visiting and would like to find out more, ask away!

Over the next few months we’ll hopefully come across quite a few colour ringed gulls. Most of these will be Mediterranean Gulls from all over Europe. One of the first to arrive back this autumn was R13U who appeared at Radipole on the 11^th October last year. This year it re-appeared on the 3^rd October and has been seen regularly since then. It was ringed at a chick in Pas-de-Calais in France on the 15^th June 2009.

We’ll keep you up to date with Sightings of these Gulls. I am currently waiting on news of a bird from Poland and Hungary so stay tuned!
