Kumlien's gull, Widnes

The Mersey's cracking Kumlien's gull is back for it's third winter and is now an adult.  Today it was again on the roof of WSR recycling in Widnes. It's quite a subtle Kumlien's and there has been some confusion because BirdGuides persisted in putting it out as a 3rd winter bird, which it clearly isn't. Unfortunately in the absence of a 3rd winter Kumlien's, some observers have seen this bird and called it an adult Iceland due to it's less than classic Kumlien's features. If you see what I mean 😆🤦‍♂️
