Pics of Southern Black-Backed Gull at Cottontree

[Ian May <>]

Hello Wayne

Yes, you are correct.  Your photograph is an adult Southern Black-Backed 
Gull.  It was commonly known by this name until the early 80's.
Also known as Dominican Gull and more recently in Australia as Kelp 
Gull, this is (for now) the accepted common name.
Regards
