Franklin's Gull spotted in False Bay

Rob was thrilled to have captured a picture of a Franklin's Gull, whilst on a recent shark trip at seal island.

Its Status is Vagrant, meaning rare and accidental to the region.

It is a very pretty gull, with a full black hood and a white eye-ring, and pinkish breast. It also has black tips on its wings.

I am going to look into where this bird is from/ what area its common to.
