Just received the ringing data back from the Polish ornithological museum regarding the Mediterranean gull from Sunday. I've attached them as photos below.
Here are the exact coordinates from the nest site it was rung as a chick. 50°57'04.7'' 16°36'05.2

A shorter circuit is all i could manage this morning due to both time and workmen on one of the tracks which led to a change of plan. Work near the sailing club could be the reason why that area was totally bird free when I got there.
Highlights include:
Oystercatcher x5 Lapwing Pheasant Water rail Scaup (about 90% adult now and is always asleep when I see him) Goosander Goldeneye Gadwall (withins) Little egret x3 Meadow pipit
