How is the status nowadays in Britain and Ireland? In the Netherlands the occurence has almost dried up, except for the bird that summered in Poland and could be folllowed by its transmitter.

Hi Jan. Josh Jones wrote a comprehensive article a few years ago for Birdguides, it can be found here: The rise and fall of Ring-billed Gull - BirdGuides 

Without doing a proper search online, I can only think of 9-10 on the entire island of Ireland this winter so far. Possibly positively, 4 of these are 1st cycles, the rest are returning adults mainly.
