Bonaparte's Gull

The ad Bonaparte's Gull was in Cardiff Bay at 16.55 viewed from Prospect Place south of the road bridge, same area Black-necked Grebe was a few weeks ago. Note it's in the real Cardiff Bay and not at Heliport Bay or water treatment works which are completely different locations several miles away but for some reason visiting birders keep calling Cardiff Bay.... Aargh ! Earlier the Whooper Swan was at Cosmeston but couldn't find the Lesser Scaup.

Well done Alex, that explains why I couldn't find it at the Heliport this afternoon.

Do you reckon it's definitely the heliport one?

Graham, I last saw the Bonaparte's Gull at Heliport Bay on Sunday. Tonight's bird was virtually identical in terms of stage of head moult etc - it looked like the same bird to me.
