The Silver Gull is a very common bird. They number in their hundreds as they squabble aggressively for the occasionally discarded food morsel when we Australians try to eat one of most favoured informal take-away meals..... fish and chips (chips.... Australian for french-fries)!!! I'm sure this happens worldwide.
This one however, was cleaning-up after rummaging around in some particularly dirty sea-weed which had washed ashore onto a local beach. Aside from looking good, it's very important for sea-birds to groom regularly, as the grooming action spreads a naturally produced body oil which helps waterproof the feathers. I personally feel they are very beautiful despite their being one of most common birds.

Beautiful bird - they may be common to you there, but they are new to a lot of us, and I love their colors and the ring around the eye.
