Royal Tern, Anglesey, Traeth Lligwy, 11 December 2018

Probably 2w, but not convinced it's American. The bill is not as deep-based as the 2016 Irish bird's.

Ring-billed Gull/Lesser Black-backed Gull Hybrid, Derbyshire, Carsington Water, 20/11/2018

This presumed Ring-billed / LBB Gull hybrid was first recorded at Priorslee Lake, Shropshire in 2012 and has toured the Midlands since. It is between Common Gull and LBB Gull in size and upper part shade with a pale eye and sharply defined black bill-band. This must be a very rare combination of parent species.
