    I took a photo of this flightless bird in the yard of a large manufacturing facility in Dublin where I work. I say flightless as it could only run away from me. The site has alot of Seagulls and Pigeons hanging around. These are considered problematic as they can sometimes enter locations where they're not wanted.

    There is a tag on this bird's leg. What could it be?

    Thanks

    Lots of roof nesting gulls being ringed the last few years. I'll post the email you should report it to when I get back to my PC.

    PS its flightless because it is a youngster. May have fallen down from its nest site.
