Red-billed Gull (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae ssp. scopulinus)Observer
jon_sullivanDescription
I photographed this seagull because it had odd growth (tongue?) coming out from under the base of its beak.
Looking at it later, it's not clear to me whether it's a red-billed gull or a black-billed gull? The long bill looks more like a black-billed gull, but I'd appreciate being corrected if that's wrong.

A bird wing (just the wing) in the bushes by the picnic clearing at the entrance of Kaituna Valley Scenic Reserve.
Odd domesticated duck, perhaps?
Dead.

Baby bird found in a Dunedin yard. Maybe a starling? About half size of a sparrow already, some feathers, eyes shut still.

bbi2Description
It was walking down the truck like duck-walk, tumbling down to the bank and settled on the grasses. I think it was looking for parents and now waiting for parents to come back or being lost? Then a black backed gull flew on the rock nearby and looking at the chick. I don't know the gull might attack the chick? :-(
