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?

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

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.
