I know just another gull but this one happens to be the most threatened gull species in the world and of cause it has to be here in NZ! I am told that the leg ring makes this bird around 17 yrs old.
Alas, I hope that great photos such as this are not all you have to see him with some day. I had no idea that gulls live that long. Thanks for the interesting info about this species. We should never take any of them for granted, even 'just another gull'. Good work!
A very handsome gull! So sad to hear they're endangered! Biologists say we're in the sixth mass extinction, and this time it's one species's fault - ours. I hope we can manage to turn it around :eek!:
it is a gorgeous gull tom and capture i think we over look gulls far to much as just another gull because most of us humans cannot tell them apart.nice info i hope this rather old one has had plenty of offspring and to survive all those years is amazing.many tfs.all the best margaret.
