Lesser Black-backed Gull - Lime CJ ~ Crayford, Kent - 02.01.13

New years day whilst scanning the gull's at the Jolly farmers, I found a LBB Gull with a Lime coloured ring on the left tibia.

But couldn't read the ring, tried many times and each was obscured by body feathers.

Even took a few images just in case it was visible on the computer, but no ..

Then the roost was flushed and I could not relocate it, so i thought that it was all over ...

Tried again the next day and there it was !!!
