Kumlien's Gull, Tralee

An excellent candidate for a Kumlien's Gull, seen briefly today in Tralee.

More Iceland and Glaucous Gulls have been popping up around Kerry and elsewhere around Ireland  in the past few days, so perhaps there might be more of these enigmatic 'White-winged gulls' to be found... or rather, 'Not-quite-white-winged, rather brown-washed primaries gulls'... Not sure that name will catch on.
