The high winds have dropped, but there is still a lot of snow all over the place. There was little traffic on the road, so I took the opportunity to try and clean up on those gulls I missed on Thursday at Sean Walsh Park. First up was the third winter
Iceland Gull. It's a bit dirty looking, but a lovely bird nonetheless.
The next target species was a Yellow-legged Gull that has been reported recently. There was nothing doing there, but I did spot a very dark
Lesser Black-backed Gull that looks like it might be
intermedius.
There was also a gull that may be a hybrid that has been puzzling Dublin birders for a few years. It has some characteristics of Caspian Gull, but not all.
