Media notes
I found this adult Bonaparte's Gull mid-afternoon on the pond closest to the main gate. I Had only been in the country 3 hours and at the time was concentrating on searching through the large numbers of ducks on the 4 main ponds. The slight darkening around the head indicates that it is starting to moult into summer plumage. I put the 4 images out on to various FB pages and all agree with my ID. I then submitted the record and images to Vaughan Turland of the Jamaican Rarities Committee and it has been accepted as the first record for Jamaica.
