Pacific Gull

The Pacific Gull is a large, handsome and colourful gull I came across at probably every beach in Victoria. Also in many other places, they are pretty common and unmistakable. One normally finds them alone, so the beach populated with dozens of them must have a very special secret...

Drinking can be a problem for seabirds, as seawater isn't good even for them. This one here found a creek for the thirst.
