My OperaLarus hyperboreus in Arade Estuary
Monday, February 11, 2008 3:21:04 PM
On February 10th, i've seen a Glaucous Gull (Larus hyperboreus) flying east in Portimão Downtown. It was as very large gull, much larger than Black-backed Gull (Larus fuscus). The bird was very paller, looking light cinnamon. I beleave it could be a 1st. Winter.
On March 15th, i and Luís Campina, have seen the same bird in Portimão Fishing Harbour (Docapesca) and it was a 1 calendar year bird. The same bird was seen on March 23rd.
Probably the same bird is being seen on Doca Pesca Harbour (on the eastern side of Arade river), since January 11th (http://aves.team-forum.net/raridades-f14/1st-w-glaucous-gull-at-porta-pesca-de-portimao-t475.htm?sid=2140650a918ca2d802cf4229e228d59f).
