Larus cachinnans 2CY-3CY SKB E1711 January 2013 - September 2014, the Netherlands & Germany. Slovakia Bratsislava ringed bird, SKB E1711, ringed as pullus on May 24 2012, at Piestàny, Slovakia (48°36'00"N, 17°49'00"E).
Bird flying between Minden and Barneveld (235 KM) in winter. Native colony in Slovakia, probably hatched at one of the dams in the reservoir near Piestàny or a small island in the adjacent river.
