Bonaparte's Gull and Ringed-Bill Gull - only on the Humber

A quick call last night from Graham to say he had found a 2cy Bonaparte's Gull at Chowder Ness, Barton - so we quickly abandoned Brazil v Chile to arrive in record time(sub 15min) to see our first record for the Scunthorpe area.  Things only got better when a Ringed-Bill Gull was standing next to it - another Scunthorpe tick for us!  Could they have crossed the Atlantic together?
