Silver Gull Larus novaehollandiae
Sydney and Melbourne, Australia

The Silver Gull Larus novaehollandiae is Australia’s commonest gull - and the one seen dodging cricket balls during televised Test matches. Once considered conspecific with both South Africa’s Hartlaub’s Gull Larus hartlaubii and New Zealand’s Red-billed Gull Larus scopulinus all three are now considered as separate species.

He wants to be a writer, and thinks no-one would believe his life could be so charmed if he didn't take photos of as many of the birds he sees as possible. Blogging with 10,000 Birds fits his aims, needs, and insecurities perfectly. Really - do birders get much more fortunate than this?
