Geocache Description:

The screeching and scavenging gulls so familiar around New Zealand’s coastlines are closely related to terns and skuas.Vist a position to observe them.

New Zealand has three species of gulls. More than two million black-backed gulls live around New Zealand’s coasts, rivers and near-shore islands. At 60 centimetres long, they are the largest of the gulls living in the country. They have white bodies, black wings, and a yellow bill and legs. They feed around coasts and scavenge food inland.
Red-billed gulls have white and grey bodies. The bill and legs are red. They scavenge for food around city parks and rubbish tips as well as feeding at sea and along the shore.
Black-billed gulls are found only in New Zealand. They are white and grey, with a black bill.
 Gulls are long-winged birds of moderate size with rather short legs and webbed feet. The bill is bent down at the tip, the tail short and nearly always square-ended, and adult plumage generally consists of grey or black wings and back and a white body and tail.
Their usual dwelling places are coasts, harbours, rivers, and lakes, and here gulls feed primarily by scavenging. They also feed on shellfish and on insects and worms obtained from ploughed fields. They take fish in coastal and fresh waters, the eggs and young of other sea birds, and occasionally attack weak or helpless lambs and sheep.

Please replace cache so that it will not be blown off the cliff top and see that it is covered. Take care especially with children along the cliff top.DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS IN STRONG WINDS.
