Laughing Gull update 3

["Trevor Ford" <>]

As far as I am aware, the Laughing Gull was not seen on Bribie Island today,
despite extensive searching.  I'll keep an eye on the area over the next few
days (I tend to get to Scoopy's quite regularly anyway!) and report back,
hopefully within the hour, if it reappears.  I won't report further negative
news.

I have just sent another scanned photo of the bird to Bill Jolly, a far
better effort than the previous ones.  Hopefully he'll put it on the
Abberton web site asap.  I would suggest that anyone who is hoping to
relocate the bird has a look at this photo as it reveals many of the salient
features.

Is this the sixth record of Laughing Gull in Australia?

Cheers - Trevor Ford.
