The red-billed gull (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae scopulinus) is a native of New Zealand. Formerly considered as a separate species (mackerel gull), it is now usually treated as a subspecies of the silver gull (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae). Maoris called it the tarapunga or akiaki. Photographed at Punakaiki Pancake Rocks and Blowholes Walk, on Dolomite Point in Paparoa National Park, in the West Coast region of New Zealand's South Island.
