Seagulls always get a bad rep – they’re common, they scavenge, are loud, and bully. I think that the more we are surrounded by something (be it landscape, architecture, animals, plants) the less we see it. I’m sure you’ll agree that they are pretty striking looking birds. I think these guys are Red-billed Gulls, known locally as Mackerel Gulls or Tarapunga in Māori.
