Every year some of Yellow-legged Gulls (Larus michahellis) are observed as breeding birds at the large Polish colony Kępa Nadbrzeska.
In 2021 Marcin equipped both Caspians and Yellow-legged Gulls with GPS-GSM devices.
This is the pair y-P:WA5 (female) & y-P:WC6 (male).
You can see the map with after-breeding movements of this Yellow-legged Gull pair below:
