Black-headed Gull 226J (seen in Roundhay Park today) spends the summers in Sweden, north of Stockholm, and the winters in Leeds.
This has been the constant textbook behaviour since ringing in November 2022

Roundhay Park, Leeds, today where the Black-headed Gulls provide plenty of interest.
235J has been spotted in Riga, Latvia 🇱🇻 and 236J visits St Petersburg, Russia 🇷🇺
My favourite 288S came to visit me at Yeadon Tarn on New Year’s Eve last year! 😀

The first 2025 sighting of a rather scruffy Black-headed Gull 232J in Roundhay Park today.
No clues as to where it has been since December.
