Franklin's Gull (Leucophaeus pipixcan)

Not much of a special bird to many others around the world, however this bird is a rare vagrant here in South Africa, and I happened to be on holiday just 50 kilometers of where it was reported. Following a fast race there, managed to connect with great views.
