Hi Roger, Jill & everyone,

There were lots of Silver Gulls on the Birdsville Track along the CooperCreek and even quite a few near the homestead of Etadunna. These gulls werequite used to humans as a source of food as whenever I pulled up the car asmall group would flock to me, particularly if I had food in my hands.

I don't know what the numbers are like around The Nobbies on Phillip Island(Victoria)at the moment as I'm not home yet to check it out, but usuallythousands are starting to breed there at this time of the year.

I think the theory that they are outback with the water could have somecredence.

Cheers
