Since beginning my passion for birding I have developed a love of Silver Gulls in particular as I love their often comical antics.<br />When I visited my parents on the MP in December 2011, I photographed a gull I hadn't seen before - a group of juvenile Pacific Gulls. I was quite confused at first as I was sure they were gulls based on their characteristics but I couldn't find them anywhere. They are so different to the adults!!<br />I'd love to come across a Kelp Gull!!<br />Great post, Stewart!! Lovely shots. You have inspired me to post some more of my Silver Gull shots in the next week or two!!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17541748309832254889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-52948014225196415192013-01-31T02:22:45.665+11:002013-01-31T02:22:45.665+11:00Great gull series!!

I reposted it a few minutes ago, and it appears to be working fine. Please let me know if it is fixed. The one week I really managed some good shots and something went wrong with the post. Ah..such is life. Loved your pictures. They bring back so many memories of walking along the Atlantic Ocean and trying to "catch" them...hahaha. What a child won't try! We lived one block from the beach so I got to spend lots of evenings and early mornings there. Your blog is such a treat for the eyes.
