Audouins Gull (Larus audouinii)

One of the rarest Gulls in the world but fortunately increasing in numbers, not so difficult to find nowadays in the Mediterranean coast of Spain.

Another of Jamies findings. Sunbathing in the beach and snapping Audouins Gull at the same time: a new experience! |:D|

Of course, another firstie for my gallery... and there are more to come! o:) Thanks, Jamiedude! :cool:

A very smart-looking bird, brilliantly captured, Marian. I love those Icy looking in-coming waves.
