No problem. I hadn't heard of Larus cachinnans before. :)

Thanks, Doryreed. She is not herring gull. But it is Larus cachinnans, she is common in the western Mediterranean. Regards.

This gull isn't a herring gull I don't think. They have pink legs. This is the yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis). :) http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/y/yellowleggedgull/index.aspx
