Wild Bird Wednesday 508 - Silver Gulls

Well, for only the second time in two years we are away on a family holiday.  I had hoped to bring you some birds from 'our' new garden, but we have had two days of persistent rain so far!  As we are near the sea I thought I would give you a collection of Silver Gull images.

The Silver Gull (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae) is the default gull in Australia, and probably accounts for over 95% of the gulls that I see.  Anything that is not a Silver Gull is cause for a least a little excitement! 








I hope for better weather in the very near future!  And more than that, I hope to have enough space in my head to allow me to start visiting your blogs again.  Its been a strange kind of time.  SM

    Enjoy that break, and remember that rain is the reason you can sit still and ruminate! I love the Silver Gulls, so fine-featured compared to all our bully-boy types up here! YAM xx

    Great shots. I am always fascinated with the one legged stand of gulls. Have a wonderful vacation!

    Sleek and handsome gull. We have also had cold, wet and windy weather which keeps us inside much of the time. Had hail yesterday and again this morning, mixed with rain and a few snowflakes. Spring migrants are starting to arrive anyway.

    The Silver Gull in flight speaks a lot for me! Lovely photos of the clear skies, I hope the weather gets back to fair again in your place.

    This is the gull I see most of the time, too. Hope the weather on your holiday improved.
