Red-billed Gulls, immature and adult, Mangere inlet, Manukau harbour, Auckland 24/12/17
Observation details
An immature bird with head and neck extended pointed its bill at an adult while uttering short calls. It flew down to the sea once or twice and returned swallowing something. The adult started calling loudly as I approached and another bird, probably an adult, flew in and remained in flight nearby for a while before flying off. They were at the outlet of a culvert draining a shallow tree-lined gully south of the Miami Parade corner. A white-fronted tern was fishing nearby and earlier I had seen a pied shag and mallard hybrid in the same area.
