Ringing report

The super-speedy Copenhagen Museum has already responded about the Herring Gull with the metal ring (see last post). It was ringed as a first-winter bird (second calendar year) on 2 January 2007. This means it was born in 2006 and so is in its fourth winter. Where was it ringed...? Copenhagen city centre. According to a quick calculation on Google Maps, I saw the bird approximately 1 mile from its original ringing location!
