Egretta garzetta
Most of the cliffs here are covered in Gulls, either nesting or resting, as seems the case here at first glance but these are all Egrets, some Little, some Cattle, perhaps 50 or more!

Hey Pedro, just checked the original again, there are indeed some Cattle Egrets amongst the Little Egrets, or perhaps more correctly some little Egrets amongst the Cattle Egrets!
I can't tell by this shot, but are you sure these aren't Cattle egrets? Little Egrets don't usually group in such big flocks.
