A 1st year Juvenile Pacific Gull standing on the end of a Drain Pipe that empties into the water separating Phillip Island from the mainland.
The Pacific gull is a very large gull, native to the coasts of Australia.
Juveniles are mottled dark brown and have a glossy black bill.
Immatures in first-year plumage are still very dark but have a pale face and the base of the bill is pinkish.
Second-year immatures have dark brown wings, a paler rump, and a yellow bill with a black tip.
They’ll grow into a very large gull with a black back, white head, neck and underbody and a huge yellow bill, which has a red tip on both the upper and lower mandible.
Taken in the morning on our Phillip Island day trip.
Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated.
Peaceful Sunday

Sunset along the legendary pacific highway one...use the 10X ND filter to slow down the ocean waves and create a softer mood in the sky and water.
Met this guy in the woods yesterday... no bears encounter yet but lots of Pacific Wren... some vocal too.

I visited around the whole island during my Lunar New Year vacation. I hope to bring you some of my experiences different from my Magic Forest Series though. :-)
The grandeur of the Pacific is hard to wrap one's mind around. The color pallet of the water, the mountains that seemingly fall into its depths, and the sunsets that repeat themselves enrobed in their glorious golden light. It is a place that is hard to describe in words. It is a place where there is so much beauty to take in that it is overwhelming. It is a place that is hand crafted. It is a place where the imagination and creativity of God ran wild, yet it is perfectly organized. Not one thing is out of place. It is a place that will leave you constantly wanting to come back and never wanting to leave. It is a place with such grandeur that my words will always fall short to describe it, but it will always be a testimony to His glory, power, and perfectly unlimited creativity!
Some photos from my time photographing wildlife in Vancouver Island last November. One of my favourite shots from that trip were of Pacific Wrens like this one. Very curious little birds.

Australia’s largest gull, the Pacific Gull (Larus pacificus) occurs only along the coasts of southern Australia. Despite its name, they are seldom seen on the Pacific coastline, and are more common on beaches bordering the Southern and Indian Oceans.
The Pacific Gull is a very large black-backed gull with a massive yellow bill, broadly tipped with scarlet on both the upper and lower mandible. Juvenile Pacific Gulls are mottled dark brown with a pale face. I took this shot in 2012 at Swansea in Tasmania.
The Pacific Brown Pelican differs a bit in color from the mature brown pelicans on the Atlantic coast. The PBP's pouch is multi-colored--green with red instead of a singular brown. The eye of the PBP is a pale blue vs. brown. The PBP's silvery streaking on the feathering is also visible on this bird.
