I observed a Silver Gull nest on the bow of a small boat, off the Wharf at manly today. When we neared to close in our own boat the pair fiercely warned us. This is the first I have heard of Silver gulls nesting so close to habitation.

There has been a recent influx of Sacred Ibis breeding in Canary Island Date palms in Sydney city with nests sighted in the trees in Cook & Philip Park, Hyde Park and Darling Harbour.
At least 4 pairs to each tree.
