Black-headed Gull (seen 8th Oct) with yellow ring TN46 was ringed as a male 2cy on 23/06/2019 in Włocławek, Poland. Rough estimate of the distance between there and Redcar. @teesbirds.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social #NEBirding #Birdringing

While messing around trying slow mo videos, I got this gull, which looking at later thought it could be yellow-legged, though not too sure, any help appreciated. @teesbirds.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social @saloplarus.bsky.social @pratorum2112.bsky.social

Possible Northern Eider today off Redcar Cinema, sails and bill look good, and looks like yellow legs too. Will try to keep an eye on it as it moults. Note the other Eider also has sails but none of the other features @teesbirds.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social #NEBirding #UKBirding
