Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae

Description:

The Silver Gull has a white head, tail and underparts, with a light grey back and black-tipped wings. In adult birds the bill, legs and eye-ring are bright orange-red. Immature are duller, with brown flecks on wings forming a conspicuous bar in flight.

Notes:

A very noisy, talkative gull! 3rd pic shows a pair of immatures.
