We can ID this gull as a nonbreeding Mediterranean Gull as follows:
- Almost entirely white and light gray bird, including white tail with no black and wings with no black or black tips (this distinguishes this gull from most other gulls).
- Reddish near base of bill with black towards tip (you can just make the red out in the last three photos)
- White face with smudge behind eye
- Dark legs
The Mediterranean Gull is a new species to our Photographic Life List, which now stands at 972.
