    Same bird?  Just possible it's a delayed Mrs G.

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

    Doubt it - that's in SW Wales.  Good thought, though!

    I had to Google the two Welsh locations.  I'm actually wondering if the Gloucestershire sighting and the two Welsh sightings are all the same bird.
