I saw these birds on a beach in Tasmania and wonder what they are - an ID would be great, thanks
Pacific Gulls. The first one is a juvenile and the second one is an adult. Ray
I believe that the black & white bird is an adult Pacific Gull and the other is not yet an adult.
Most of the large gulls colour up over 1-3 years.
opps sorry to repeat - I was called away to a fire alarm

Thanks for your quick replies.
I've not seen big gulls like this before, there were a lot of them on the beach (Swimcart, Tas) where we were camping.
