On the beach (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae)

I'd now made my way down to the beach and found one of those rather pretty Silver Gulls.

Don't know if you know, but there's only 3 species of gull (regularly) seen in Australia. Makes me wish I lived there LOL Gulls are a nightmare for me here.

Oh and I picked this caption as I was (am) a Nevil Shute fan and it was the title of one of his books, some of which was set in Australia.
