Year: 258 (Ross's Gull)
Bizarre to see a High Arctic Ross's Gull walking around on the mud next to a Spoonbill and several Little Egrets in the middle of June.
Ross's Gull, considerably smaller than the adjacent Black-headed Gulls. It's been here for at least 3 - 4 weeks and apparently spent the first week misidentified as a 1st summer Little Gull.
Spoonbill and Little Egrets.
