Took some photos of gulls the other day including this gull had a proper ring on it (not some silly elastic band). The ring reads HW7T, and I initially thought that it may have been of German origin. However, I contacted some people who circulated the info amongst themselves. After a short time they came back to me regarding said birds provenance, and it turns out that this gull is a bleedin' cockney, innit!

The gull was ringed (rung? rang?) in Rainham in 2012 and has been seen in Norfolk before. All the information regarding the gull can be seen on this link on the North Thames Gull Group site - which I have to say is pretty cool. Even cooler when they put my picture up on their website.
That, dear reader, is science!
