Kumlien's update

A quick browse through this years records suggests seven or so individuals may have been responsible for the Glamorgan sightings. Still time for more of this disputed taxon in what has been an unprecedented influx. NB. The red dot at Cosmeston is Dave Rich's 2012 record (one of just two county records prior to this winter's influx, the other an adut bird that frequented Swansea Bay for a few years - not shown). The five 2014 records of nominate Iceland Gulls are not plotted.
