The photograph below of this interesting Gull which can be seen at the Waterworks, Belfast... the bare parts and shape of head suggest Common Gull but the upperparts and the tertial pattern does point towards Ring-billed Gull, could this bird be a hybrid, it has happened in Northern Ireland before. The Black-headed Gull in foreground gives good comparison of the grey upperparts colour...any suggestions on this bird would be most welcome.
Our thanks to Liam Philliban for the pic of the Glossy Ibis, also to Anthony Day for the very unusual pic of this leucistic ,the photo was taken of Donaghadee, facing the Copelands. Bottom pic from David Nixon of the Ruff at Dundrum Inner Bay.
