Lahinch Gull fest

 A few days back,  a sudden a flock of a few thousand Gulls came into Lahinch beach . The 2 stand outs were the juvenile Sabines Gulls and a Ring billed Gull that was tricky to ID in the melee of Gulls in the wind .

As I was walking down to the reef  I lost my target Ring billed Gull as an Arctic Skua came off the sea and put up the whole beach up.

It flew back out settling in choppy ocean 150m off the reef.

A great Skua was also seen out in the bay.
