The Pacific gull (Larus pacificus) is a bird in the gull family, Laridae, native to the coasts of Australia. It is moderately common in a band along the coast between Carnarvon, Western Australia, in the west, and Sydney in the east, as well as Tasmania and other islands off the continent's southern coast. The Pacific gull ranges in length from 58 to 66 centimetres (23 to 26 in), with a wingspan of 137 to 157 centimetres (54 to 62 in). Its diet consists of fish and invertebrates, such as crabs, sand flatheads and cephalopods. This Pacific gull of the subspecies L. p. pacificus was photographed in Moulting Lagoon Important Bird Area, Tasmania. Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
