Wow! I really am enjoying the enthusiasm of the West Wales Gull Appreciation Society. For years when living in East Anglia me and my great pal the late Brian Brown stared incessantly at groynes. When hearing this many mistook us for some sort of perverts. Franklin's Gull then 2nd for UK was the greatest find.
The Red-billed Gull from New Zealand is a separate species to the Silver Gull of Australia. You see them a lot getting the way of Test matches on TV.
Now to some of our close European neighbours. Slender-billed Gull in summer plumage with its pinkish tinge on the breast is stunning.
The fast spreading Audouin's Gull is also a beautiful creature. Who will find the first one for Wales?
Next a Yank - Bonaparte's Gull which again in summer rates with Graham's description of a Little Gull.
Lastly a brute from down under. The Pacific Gull (see Photo) has a scary profile but left me in awe at our only meeting.
