On Sept 18 I observed and photographed a Silver Gull sitting on a nest on a
pontoon at Lake Canobolas.

Subject: Silver Gulls nesting at Orange, NSW
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.
