Quick check of the Cork Lough after work today. No sign of the recently reported Glaucous Gull, or the long-staying Ring-billed, but this 1st cycle Mediterranean Gull showed quite well for a while before disappearing.

I don't know if they have a national bird, but you make a strong case for this species if not.

Birds tended to show very well when we were on the river at Wassadou, drifting and the engine shut off, so there were opportunities for nice photos.

The Doctor circa Season 18 is a mood I often feel in middle age. Some days, I even feel more like the Doctor during Episode 3 of The Leisure Hive...

I saw a very brief distant candidate in Co. Tipperary once but couldn't exclude Mink on what I saw.
