Gong Xi Fa Cai to all who celebrate!
I just received a link to a checklist
(https://ebird.org/atlasny/checklist/S101846914 ) from Anthony Collerton who
asked me to take a look at a Gull that to him did not seem right for LBBG and
thought it looked good for a Slaty-backed Gull.
Anthony’s suspicion was spot on. The bird in this checklist identified as a
LBBG is indeed a 3CY (3rd Calendar Year) Slaty-backed Gull.
I am sure many of the CP regulars will be on the lookout. Please post regular
updates to your various groups and remember to cross post here to the list
serves.
Congratulations to the original finder and well done by Anthony in acting on
his instincts. I myself will have to trek into CP to twitch this bird, if it
sticks 😬
Cheers,
