Hi to all WA birders. Can anyone tell me whether the Franklin’s Gull seen at South Perth in November has been seen recently please? I am in Perth working for a week and thought I would go and have a look for it if it is still around. Thanks Bob

Hi Bob Sorry I can’t give any gen on it’s latest movements, but I had a good strike rate with it at Douglas Ave, South Perth (relocated 25 Nov at the gull and tern roost by the lake, seen again with Daniel Mantle that afternoon flying over the Swan River and foreshore, and the next day 26 Nov back by the lake). A number of others have seen it in this area also. I tried several times at Burswood Park where it was originally found by Des Moran, without luck, but it was reported back there 26 Nov. As Ross said It has since been reported at Alfred Cove, 2 Dec… There is an abundance of suitable habitat and it appears to be moving between different sites, but these would be good places to start. I’d love to know if anyone has seen it more recently. Cheers Plaxy Barratt Perth On 11 December 2013 13:05, Ross Jones < roscoedj@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Bob, It was reported at Alfred’s Cove last week and I went and had a look on the 3/12 with no luck. Cheers, Ross On 11 December 2013 08:16, Bob Dawson < bdawson@middys.com.au> wrote:
