Silver Gull
Larus novaehollandiae

The Silver Gull is the most common gull in Australia and can be found just about anywhere in large numbers. The first photo is of an adult, the second is of a second-year bird and the third of 1st-winter bird. As the gulls get older, the eye-ring, beak and legs become more red.
