Herman Bouman invited me over to his local patch for some ring reading last week, which resulted in 5 rings in just under 2 hours.
Highlight was a first-calendar year Caspian, unfortunately we were not able to read the ring:

Among the other rings were two Dutch LBB's with color rings:
Green PJ2, ringed at the Europoort near Rotterdam:
Lesser Black-backed Gull, (L.f. graellsii), 15cy, G[PJ2] by little-W | Studying gulls, on Flickr
Lesser Black-backed Gull, (L.f. graellsii), 15cy, G[PJ2] by little-W | Studying gulls, on Flickr
...and Green Y.AXP from the Forteiland colony at IJmuiden (where I saw it a few weeks earlier):

Note P1 in the left wing, it almost looks as if its half-grown?
