Bonaparte's Gull Erith

After dipping the Glaucous Gull at Rainham Marshes and then the Bonaparte's Gull at Erith in Kent last weekend it was nice to catch up with the latter this morning at 10.40am on the pier. A great find for RB and DS. It showed really well for 25 minutes or so then was lost to view. It's a stunning Adult  and was the first gull I picked out as it sat on the Thames to the delight of other birders who couldn't locate it-I got lucky.

Great to catch up with MS,RS,RB and DS this morning too.
