Nimmo's Pier 21-07-2013

It was sometime in May when I was last down at Nimmo's. Got a report from Galway Bird News admin by Dermot Breen about a 1st Summer Iceland Gull seen by Michael Davis. Also reports on Face book by Łukasz Czajka about Mediterranean Gulls. The Mediterranean Gull along with an albino Black-headed Gull appear in a flock around this time for the past number of years.
