17:30 adult Caspian-like Gull at Merrion Gates with Lesser Black-backed Gulls. The same bird which has been present at Sean Walsh Park, Tallaght since 1st March 2018 and also returning for several winters since Dec 2013 (a 3rd calendar year when first found). This is the first time it has been recorded away from that site. Could it be a hybrid Caspian x Lesser Black-backed Gull?
