'Intermedius' Lesser Black-backed Gull, Blennerville, 24th March 2019 (David O'Connor).
This 'Intermedius' Lesser Black-backed Gull was at Blennerville on Sunday before flying out into the bay and was only the seventh county record, though they are undoubtedly overlooked. Four occurrences have been in April. 'Intermedius' birds nest in SW Scandinavia and winter in small numbers in western Europe and Africa.
