Two rare gulls for Portugal





Iceland gull Larus glaucoides, second winter. Still residing near Murtosa today. I was informed it’s the American subspecies L. g. kumlieni, and it’s the second winter the bird appears at the cow dung rich meadow.




Caspian gull Larus cachinnans, first winter. Seen on two dates in January in the Aveiro region. Possibly the first record of this species for that area. Found by Pedro Moreira.
