Redesmere doesn't really get many different species of gulls through the year. Black-headed are the most common by far, with the odd Lesser Black-backed some months, and even rarer here is the Common Gull. During the winter months there can be 100+ Black-headed gulls on and around the water. Some of these have been ringed birds, and traced back to Lithuania. The records show that they travel from Redesmere to Lithuania to breed and then return to entertain me for the rest of the year. It's quite amazing really when you think about it.
