A tame Sabine's Gull, Rough Point

Juvenile Sabine's Gull, Rough Point, 27th September 2019 (Michael O'Clery).

Sabine's Gulls have been scarce in Kerry's offshore waters so far this autumn and are typically seen at 'telescope-distance-only', well offshore heading into a strong gale. All the more enjoyable then to see one, tame, up-close, and in no hurry.
