Hi Greg and others,
Thanks for the report of the two Pacific Gulls at Scarborough, Greg.
I live a short distance from Queen's Beach, Scarborough, so I made a quick but
careful dash to there
at about 4 pm (Sat 9th July) to get some photos.
Surprisingly, the two birds were exactly were Greg said he saw them.
(That's not intended as a slight on Greg but a cynical comment on my record of following-up other
people's reports.)
A couple of local residents were actually interested and revealed that these
two birds may have been
in the area for at least a couple of weeks.
I have put a couple of pictures on a web-page and would be interested to hear from the experts as to
their
opinions on the stage of development of these birds.
Are they juveniles or first immatures?

Due to the size of the photos this page may take a minute or two to download.
Cheers

Note: Scarborough is a suburb of the city of Redcliffe not a suburb of Brisbane.
Check Map 82 in the Brisbane UBD Refidex. Look for the boat-ramp in square C16.
