Well, Suzanne got another example last weekend...
During another visit to Lurgan Park she photographed another colour-ringed Black-headed Gull 290P.

We knew from previous sightings that this was likely a bird from Lough Mask in Mayo, so she reported her sighting to Chris Benson and Eoin McGreal.
Chris replied, informing us that 290P had indeed been ringed at Lough Mask, as a chick back in June 2007. This was the first re-sighting of it in the 10 years since!
This is similar to one of Gary's sightings from last spring, when he spotted a different Lough Mask bird at Glynn, Larne Lough which had also been ringed in 2007 (see here). This too, was the first re-sighting.
Many thanks to Suzanne for her sightings and Chris for the ringing information.
