This Lesser Black-backed Gull on the beach at Landguard 27th July was ringed as a pullus on Havergate Island 3rd July 2011. Since then it has been seen in various locations around Malaga, Spain in February & December 2013, February & December 2016, February & December 2017, January 2018, January 2019, February 2021, January & February 2022. In between times it has been nesting on rooftops in the Port of Felixstowe in 2015, 2017 & 2018 plus quite probably in other years between. As a summary it breeds in the docks & spends the winter in Malaga. More similarities between Felixstowe & Torremolinos than one thinks as far as this gull in concerned !
