Reports of a dead seagull in the grounds of the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Crowmarsh Gifford this morning led to the discovery of a dead adult kittiwake. It was freshly dead and according to Bjornn Beckman appeared to have died in situ (rather than having been moved there). R.Broughton, a local ringer, confirmed that it appeared to have starved, with very little fat on the bird.

Eds:A sad end for this beautiful pelagic gull.
Could this bird be the individual from Port Meadow
& Farmoor?
