| Comments : | Seamus Enright obtained very good views and photos of Patrick McDaid's suspected Kumlien's/Thayer's-type gull and he established that the bird is definitely not a Thayer's, but rather an extremely faded/bleached or leucistic Herring Gull, presumably a small female on size. | ||||||||||||||||||
