There is a breeding colony of Silver Gulls on the Northern boundary of
Orange City. They are on a private farm dam and are the same gulls that feed
around the Orange rubbish tip.

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.
