The Guardian newspaper often gets bird ids wrong. It carried a photo short yesterday with text "A tourist feeds red-billed gulls by the Dianchi Lake in Kunming in China. Tens of thousands of red-billed gulls have chosen to spend winter in Kunming in recent years." But isn't Red-billed Gull endemic to NZ?
