Not sure Carl. We were just there for a couple of days passing through.

Seems that Silver Gulls can pick good nesting spots. Have the Lake Canobolas
birds succeeded in hatching?

Subject: [Birding-Aus] 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.
