These photos of a small group Silver Gulls were taken recently on the beach of Encounter Bay near the Yilki store in Victor Harbor on the south coast of South Australia.

I took these photos from the beach at Yilki on Encounter Bay, Victor Harbor, South Australia a few weeks ago. What delighted me was the colour of the water in the photo above. It was late afternoon (about an hour before sunset) which seemed to enhance the depth of the blue.

Silver Gulls are the most common of gulls to be found in Australia. They can be found almost anywhere in Australia where there is suitable habitat. They are very common along shorelines of the coast, lakes, rivers, swamps and estuaries. They are also readily found near parks, sports grounds, airfields, car parks, jetties and piers, sewage ponds and often in huge numbers at rubbish dumps. In fact, anywhere there is scrap food easily obtained.

Look back over previous days for more photos of Silver Gulls.
