The second photo is from December 2023 shortly after ringing.

Yeadon Tarn was partially frozen today but the gulls didnโt seem too bothered. ๐ฅถ
c200 Black-headed Gulls vastly outnumbered their grey-legged Common Gull cousins.
Presumably these two species have a common ancestor?

Merseyside Ringing Groupโs Black 2440, the 1cy Black-headed Gull from Shotton Steel Works, Flintshire is still at Yeadon Tarn, Leeds, where it has resided for more than a month.
Hopefully it will stay here for the winter.

Black-headed Gull 239J is back at Yeadon Tarn. ๐
There were no summer sightings this year but in 2024 it visited Nordjylland, Denmark, so it is probably safe to assume that it has been there again.
๐ฉ๐ฐ BHGs are creatures of habit! ๐ฉ๐ฐ

As suspected the Yeadon Tarn colour-ringed 1 cy Black-headed Gull is from the old steel works in Flintshire ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ
I wonder how often the Shotton gulls fly North East? Does anybody in the Merseyside Ringing Group know?

Black-headed Gull 2440 was at Yeadon Tarn, Leeds, today.
It was probably ringed by the Merseyside Ringing Group and further details will hopefully follow.
Maybe blown in this direction by Storm Amy? ๐ค
I have emailed Peter Coffey.

Three colour-ringed Black-headed Gulls were seen at Yeadon Tarn this morning and all three had originally been ringed at Otley.
Still waiting for the more exciting continental travellers!
