Silver Gull



Silver Gull (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae).

Mundane as Australian suburbia might be, we often do get interesting visitors. This web page contains a selection of recent suburban wildlife pictures of interest.

The Silver Gull (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae) is a common sight in Australian suburbs, appearing at shopping centres, sports venues and any other areas where a handy snack can be found, often considerable distances from water. While frequently regarded to be a pest, people often overlook the valuable service these birds provide collecting garbage.

These photos were captured at several locations in Keysborough, Sandringham and Carrum, using various combinations of equipment, primarily the Nikon D90 and Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6D-ED zoom, the D90 with a Mamiya Sekor C 45mm f/2.8N prime, and the Nikon D7100 and Sigma AF 100-300mm f/4 EX IF HSM APO zoom lens.
