"Remarks (Negative): This photo was taken on "expedition" to a resting colony of black backed gulls some 20 miles up Muriwai beach and about a mile in from the shore ? On a vast area of sand hills." "Remarks (Print): Chased this chick in circles for "miles" to tire him to a fairly slow trot so I could work her into a suitable patch of sand with no toheroa shells (which the birds stand on) and other distractions. Had the whole adult colony after me" As written by the artist in: PH-1988-9-EX1-4B
