Year 251 (Ring-billed gull)

My first Ring-billed gull for a few years, and I was delighted to see it at Carrickfergus harbour.

Winter plumage black guillemot. Comes as something of a shock when you're not expecting it!

Carrickfergus castle and harbour. A wonderful setting for a Ring-billed gull.
