| 20260316 Herring Gull It appears Birdguides put the news out as Pallas's gull at the first.... not as 'possible'?? Single observer on a brief flight view, no photo... so it turns out?! Back in the 90's in the SW a few twitchers acted as 'ID confirmers'... I suspect to RBA. One was known as Confirm Man locally. The speed of social media has now caused the species to die out, but one would have been of great use to the commercials here. |
