High flying Silver Gull Aust.

Silver gulls are found in all states of Australia.[3] It is a common species, having adapted well to urban environments and thriving around shopping centres and garbage dumps.

 

The head, body and tail are white. The wings are light grey with white spotted, black tips. Adults range from 40–45 cm in length. Mean wing span is 94 cm. Juveniles have brown patterns on their wings, and a dark beak. Adults have bright red beaks—the brighter the red, the older the bird.
