Bad news


The only news received today was a picture of the regular 2nd W Med Gull with a cut fishing line dangling out of its mouth and therefore presumably a swallowed hook involved. We'll try and catch it and take it to a vets, but easier said than done.

Thanks to all for updating the site this week.

Elsewhere
Buff-bellied Pipit, juv American Herring Gull (convincing e.g.), 23 or so Iceland Gull, 3 'Kumlien's' Gull, 9 Ring-billed Gull (including an in recent years near-'mythical' 1st W bird!), 4-5 Glaucous Gull, Forsters Tern & Cattle Egret on a 4-day Irish trip [I missed the last two!]
