Description Gulls 'R UsI was lucky enough, while on my recent South Australia vacation, to be able to photograph some sea gulls, notably the Pacific Gull (Larus pacificus georgii) and the Silver Gull (Chroicocephalus novaehollandaise), these being the two most common indigenous gulls. The following shots were taken, mostly at Baird Bay on west coast of the Ayer Peninnsula ==>http://www.bairdbay.com/, with a couple of the Pacific Gull shots being from Kangaroo Island. As is normal with these Journals, viewing at full size is recommended.
Recently the group :iconanimalsplantsnature: #animalsplantsnature under the authorship of Mouselemur hosted an excellent Journal cum tutorial about photographing different types of birds, The APN Guide: Photographing Different Birds including seabirds. Readers may wish to consult that guide, particularly the seabird section when looking at these shots

Good point, Mayumi - the waters around this area are beautifully clear and unpolluted, but very cold.

Many Thanks
