Mew Gull canus PLG FN 04302 15cy, February 21 2009, Warmond, Zwanengat, The Netherlands. Picture: Maarten van Kleinwee.

Ringed as pullus, on May 24 1995, near the village of Kobylnica, Poland. Rings: White & Gdansk FN 04302 / Blue, Red, Blue. Adult Mew Gull in full winter (basic) plumage. This bird was observed breeding in Poland in 1999 and 2000, but in 2006 it was observed breeding in Germany. Considering the high breeding site fidelity for Mew Gulls, this is very unusual.
