I have shared photos of New Zealand seagulls in the past but I still find them to be beautiful birds even though they are considered as pests by the New Zealand locals.
From experience I can say they are opportunistic birds always around picnic areas with eyes on whatever they can aim to eat.
I was in Oamaru Waterfront last year September when I photographed this lone beautiful sea gull. I just can't help but like these pests of a bird.
