Observation details
One of the Gull-Bills was a very, very interesting bird; it had very distinct ear-muffs of blotchy black as well as a cap, and also seemed to be overall smaller and rather smaller billed than the other... that being said, I don't think I could confidently pin it down to either the Australian or nominate race for now, so watch this space for photos and further discussion!!
