Silver Gull

The Silver Gull also known simply as seagull in Australia, is the most common gull seen in Australia. It has been found throughout the continent, but particularly coastal areas. The South African Hartlaub's Gull and the New Zealand Red-billed Gull were formerly sometimes considered to be subspecies of the Silver Gull. As is the case with many gulls, it has traditionally been placed in the genus Larus but is now placed in the genus Chroicocephalus.

The Silver Gull is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.
