I was down at Iona Beach on Monday (12 October) at around 5:00 P.M. - 6:00 P.M. and I took a picture of these gulls flying overhead near the sewage ponds. I used Merlin Bird ID, and it says they're either Ring-Billed, Herring or Mew Gulls. I'm terrible with gulls, so I can't really tell. Apologies for the bad quality.

These look like Ring-billed to me. Mew gulls are similar but have thinner bills, and Herrings are quite uncommon around here (sometimes you’ll see a single one in a flock of hundreds of other gulls).

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your help.
