Hi folks. I hope I'm posting this in the right forum...
I am from Vancouver, Canada and I visited your beautiful country for the first time back in August (and I'm coming back in March!). Below are some photos that I took. These mighty be laughably easy for you to identify, but to a Canadian with limited birding experience, I ask for your help. Thanks so much!!
These 2 were taken at the Bay Of Islands. More to follow in another thread.

Hi,
The top 2 are New Zealand Dotterels, and that is a Red billed Gull.
