The Pacific Gull (Larus pacificus) is Australia’s largest gull. They have the largest and deepest bill of any gull.

Their diet consists of fish, squid, inter-tidal molluscs, echinoderms and crabs. Pacific Gulls are endemic to southern Australia.

This Sooty Oystercatcher was great at finding sand worms etc. It took only a couple of seconds for him to pull them out and swallow them like spaghetti!

Great visit to El Hondo and the coast last night. 6 new birds for the year including Lesser Yellowlegs and this beautiful Squacco Heron. Also saw an Atlantic Puffin (a new bird for the Alicante region for me). #birds #birdsseenin2026 #birdoftheday #birdphotography #birding

@Antipodeantawny @fred_od_photo Oh dear... I've only seen 4 rabbits and a couple of Brown Bandicoots here. Plenty of turbos though! 😃
