Silver gull        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Silver gulls are the common small gull of coastal Australia.   Adults, as in these images, have typical gray-and-white gull coloration, with brilliantly red bills and feet, and pale eyes.   These birds were foraging on Wombara beach, on the coast of New South Wales near Wollongong.
