Spent the weekend at Orange, NSW and was kindly shown two sites with nesting 
Silver Gulls. The first site, Wentworth Golf Club, had a pair nesting on a 
pontoon holding up the intake hose for the irrigation system in the dam just by 
the clubhouse. The pair had a single chick just starting to moult from its 
down. The second site was in Suma Park Dam, where there were 4 pairs visibly 
nesting on a small island in the dam (note, access to Suma Park is not open to 
the public). There was a constant stream of SGs flying to and from Suma Park 
and the local tip, so there may be more nesting going on than could be seen 
from my vantage point.
