Hi Ian,
Looks like a very dark-hooded 3rd year Kelp Gull in winter plumage to me.
The tern looks more like an adult winter White-fronted Tern to me (not a Common
Tern).
Cheers,
Nikolas

I was at Cape Bridgewater yesterday and photographed a seabird that I cannot
ID. Images can be found at

or on my blog at

(Sorry about the image quality - the bird was about 400 m offshore so images
are heavily cropped)
Thanks, Ian Smissen
