It took a while before I noticed what differed these gulls from others. Mostly it was the color of the bill and legs. It was lots of them but I could not get closer then this. Look at the last shot and you see why. I was on a similar place on the other side of the beach. It was probably about 1000 birds down there. About Audouin's Gull on wiki
