Observer:   Kennedy David
Date of record:   2011-03-20
Number of photos:   2
Notes:   How about some help here: none of my gull postings have yet received comment. Are they Cape Gulls? Kelp Gulls? Larus dominicanus? L.d. vetula? SABAP2 only recognises L. dominicanus Kelp Gull. Les Underhill fancies L.d.vetula Cape Gull. Please let me know what are all those gulls I have been submitting. MAny have dark eyes - this one clearly has a pale eye. Any comments would be REALLY APPRECIATED. Thank you.
