Red tibia ring r[F.N], ringed as pullus Larus cachinnans on June 26 2021 at nest 14 in colony Lelystad, the Netherlands.
ID certain in 2020 & in 2021, both parents are the same as previous year, Caspian Gull cachinnans.

Visits and data nest 14.

date:        
  egg no: width (mm) length (mm) volume (cm3):  water test on April 27th:  
16-04-2021 A egg 52,2 73,9 101,39 40 - tip on bottom 3 eggs.

26-04-2021 Partner 1 at blocks in front of nest. Seemingly same parents as last year.
         
15-05-2021 3 eggs. (in retrospect: we should have checked for presence of letters on the eggs. Was this the still the same brood as on April 26th?)
         
28-05-2021 2 eggs + 1 chick (1 day old). What has been the breeding period for these eggs??? Was there a rapid 2nd attempt in late April???
  Female at nest, but P10 slightly ackward for pure cachinnans? (probably wrong bird?)
   
08-06-2021 Male is cachinnans.
  Female appears at blocks with one chick.
