If I´m not all wrong about this one it is a 3:rd winter Yellow-legged Gull. If you think I´m wrong. Please tell me so. This was sitting on a fortress north of Layounne.

This bird looks soo cool with those feet. I never stop wondering why they are so big and yellow.

This race of the White Wagtail difers in color pattern from the one we have in Sweden. In morocco there was also a wagtail with a black mask over the eyes. I saw it once but did not get a shot of it.

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.
