Mediterranean Gull

I had forgotten how numerous Mediterranean Gulls had become in Cork.  One day last week at Ballycotton I had 16 birds in one flock, while at Whitegate there were over 46 in the one location with an additional ten at Rostellan.  In Cobh I had a further 18 with a first for me in this country of a  bird sitting in a tree.
