American Herring Gull - Newlyn Harbour - 29th March 2021 (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
I popped down to Newlyn on Monday for the American Herring Gull Larus (argenteus) smithsonianus. Four posts with five pics each in case of interest.

All the best

Paul

Final post. Not a particular fan of gulls but as I had dipped a few American Herring Gulls in Britain despite seeing the species in Ireland, I enjoyed this one.

All the best
