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). :)
