Probable Black-tailed Gull, Waratah Bay, Victoria

["Mike Carter" <>]

Allen Shatten reported seeing a gull which for the most part, fits an adult 
winter plumaged Black-tailed Gull at Waratah Bay at 17.15 yesterday. It was 
with Silver Gulls and another gull thought to be a juvenile Kelp Gull. It 
was larger than Silver, smaller than the latter. Pacific Gulls were in the 
distance. Waratah Bay is on the western side at the base of Wilson's Prom 
about 2 and a bit hours drive from Melbourne. The bird was 400 m east of the 
boat ramp at the little township of Waratah Bay. He will check again this 
morning.
Best looked for at low tide; the high is expected around lunch-time today.
