Herring Gull (argenteus) Y.AAK adult, August 2008 - August 2010, IJmuiden, the Netherlands.

Ringed Herring Gull Y.AAK from Forteiland, IJmuiden. Ringed by Fred & Kees as adult on the nest, on May 19 2008).

The IJmuiden Ringing Team (Fred & Kees) have ringed again several Herring Gulls and Lesser Black-backed Gulls at Forteiland, IJmuiden in 2008. This time green darvic rings have been attached, starting with Y for borh species (so codes read Y.xxx).
Early in the season, adults were caught at the nests and ringed, late June 2008 several juveniles were caught and ringed as well.

This page shows an example of birds from this IJmuiden project. All observations of ringed birds from this project can be sent to Kees Camphuysen at NIOZ, Texel (mail camphuys at nioz dot nl). By clicking the Excel thumbnail, you will find the report of earlier sightings in excel databases, as will be sent to you after reporting rings to Kees Camphuysen.
