I really appreciate you catching it! Please let me know if you find anything else. Thanks again :)

No problem! :D I assumed you knew that it of course wasn't a mammal since your spottings are very accurate, I was just scrolling along through the marine mammals mission page and thought I'd let yuo know! This is an unusual gull, a really cool find!

Thank you Laura. I didn't realize I had selected that mission. Perhaps in error since missions on either side were selected :)

This is a great photo Cindy, and a fantastic spotting, but you've entered it for the Marine Mammals mission! This is a seabird rather than marine mammal, so doesn't belong there :) Otherwise, great!!
