Red Billed Gull Abstract

Canon 7D, 100mm Macro Lens

Abstract of a Red Billed Gull. These gull are the Red Billed Gulls and are  native to New Zealand. They can be found all over the country. It is a fairly small gull with an all red bill, red eye ring, red leg and feet, pale grey wings with black wingtips. Quite a striking bird. The rest of its body is white, which makes them hard to photography in sunny conditions as it's easy to overexpose the feathers. There is virtually no visual difference between the male and female birds. Immature gulls have a dark brown bill with only hints of red.
