No problems Miquel, we look forward to more spottings from your part of our world. I have a mission for Birds of Iberia which currently covers the mainland only but may be expanded to include all the associated islands also. I'll let you know if and when that happens.

I hadn't read the FAQs yet, but now i've done it and I understand much more clearly the goals and objectives of PN. Also, I took notice of the common name error 1 minute after posting this spotting, as i've changed it immediately. And yes, from now on, I'll only use 2 or 3 words in the scientific name, so thank you Malcolm WJ for welcoming me and for your advices.

Hi Miquel, welcome to Project Noah. You have an error in the Common Name field, this should read "Yellow-legged Gull". Also in the scientific name, please put only the 2 or 3 word scientific name and nothing else. This field is used to positively identify each species. For more information please see our FAQs http://www.projectnoah.org/faq and Blogs http://blog.projectnoah.org/
