Bonaparte's Gull

I've just had a call [8:45 p.m.] from Peter Lansdown, who I met earlier in the day at Cosmeston. He was taking a couple of guys to sites around Cardiff. Whilst on the boardwalk at CBWR he had a full hooded Boney's Gull in the bay, looking towards Penarth, noticeable in addition to the usual features, in that it spent much more time in the air than the BHG's. I'll try & get down there tomorrow depending on family duties but others may want to check too. Poss best to look from the ice rink area as that's where the small gulls seem to be spending most of the time, or poss from the Penarth Marina road adj the mouth of the R. Ely.

Briefly seen again 19th Apr. (AB & MM)
