The after
brekkie birding was as good as the
pre cholesterol birding, with the Ring-billed Gull showing well with his Common cousin at
Nimmos and the Iceland Gulls still waiting for bread!
A return to
Nimmos in the afternoon turned up this second winter
Kumlien's Gull for a short while whilst as can be seen below, another bird was at
Rossaveal though as with
Nimmos no
Glaucs waiting for their photo
opportunity.
A couple of
piccies of the
Rossaveal Kumlien's, above and below
As a final treat we visited Limerick on route to Shannon airport to give Gull Boy James more practice and
enjoyment at feeding the Swans 'from a safe distance' . No white winged Gulls though, but a cracking first visit to the Emerald Isle, seen in all it's glory in the continuing rain. We managed to record over 90 species including all the hoped for species. Many thanks to the excellent company and Ryan Air flights.
