This afternoon in the area of Parkes Way, ANU and the lake, there were 100 plus Silver Gulls flying about.  They looked to be hawking for insects although I couldn’t see any obvious insects.  However I could see some gulls flying with their beaks open so I assume that’s what was going on.  HANZAB mentions hawking behaviour.  They were in this area for about an hour.  Is this common behaviour?

Cheers,
