	Gull - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Apart from the kittiwakes, gulls are typically coastal or inland species, rarely venturing far out to sea.
		Gulls — the larger species in particular, are resourceful and highly-intelligent birds, demonstrating complex methods of communication and a highly-developed social structure.
		The taxonomy of the large white-headed gulls is particularly complicated.

	A Global Representative System of Marine Protected Areas - Volume 1, Marine Region 3, Mediterranean (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Mediterranean waters are oligotrophic except in the vicinity of large rivers, and sediments have in general a low organic carbon content due to the low biological productivity of the waters and the presence of high oxygen concentrations in deepwaters.
		The Mediterranean basin is situated at the center of a complex mosaic formed by tectonic plates sliding under one another and is subject to heavy seismic and volcanic activity.
		This is the case for the Mediterranean monk seal, which uses caves as habitat, for marine turtles, which use sandy beaches for nesting, seagrasses for feeding and seagrasses or muddy bottoms for wintering, and for marine birds, which use wetlands, rocky shores or islands for nesting and resting (Ramade 1990).

		Two Mediterranean Gulls (adult and second-summer) were on Herriott's Pool this afternoon, along with a hybrid Herring x Lesser Black-backed Gull.
		The gull roost was noticeably diminished from the weekend, although it still contained an adult Mediterranean Gull and a second-summer Yellow-legged Gull.
		Continuing the gull theme, a notable event was the presence of two adult Ring-billed Gulls in the roost tonight, along with a single adult Mediterranean Gull.

		Gull taxonomy is in a tremendous state of flux.
		Atlantis and michahellis are typically now called the Yellow-legged Gull, even though the birds from northwest Spain are sometimes called the Cantabrican Gull, and may show pinkish legs.
		Armenicus also used to be part of Herring Gull (and presumably Yellow-legged), but has successfully fought for an independent homeland and a UN seat; it is now called the Armenian Gull.

	Mediterranean gull - The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds
		Slightly larger than a fl-headed gull, with an all-fl head in the breeding season.

		Yesterday night a Mediterranean Gull with a fl ring was caught during ringing activities at the Comacchio salina; it had been ringed as chick in 2002 in Ukraine with fl ring and an Italian metal ring.
		This gull in juvenile plumage was photographed in the Goro fishing harbour, Po Delta, NE Italy, on 17 August 2004.
		The Mediterranean birds move west in autumn, and are very rare vagrants to Europe, although this species has bred in pure or mixed pairs (with Sandwich Tern) in Italy, Spain and England.

	Mediterranean Gull
		The Mediterranean Gull is the most recent addition to the species of seabirds breeding in Britain and Ireland.
		Yet it is probably more familiar to bird-watchers as a passage migrant and winter visitor, since although it has increased as a breeding species in recent decades its population in these islands numbers little more than 100 pairs, mostly on the south and south-east coasts of England.
		The first breeding occurrence of Mediterranean Gull in Britain was in 1968, at Needs Ore Point (Hampshire).

	EUROPA - Environment - Action plan Larus audouinii
		A workshop on the conservation and management of Audouin's Gull in the Mediterranean was held on 28–29 April 1994 on the island of Montecristo (Italy).
		In 1980 the Yellow-legged Gull bred on only one of the three islands of Cape Corse, but between 1980 and 1987 there was a 12% annual increase in the number of pairs, and in 1988 all three islands were occupied.
		Audouin's Gull winters along both the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts of Morocco and the estimated total of wintering birds is 6,000 (M. Dakki verbally 1994); in 1993 over 1,000 were counted at Dakla alone.

		UP: You are seeing a range of eight middle-sized gulls: the first seven are Common [Mew] Gulls (Larus canus), while at the right end there is an adult Ring-billed Gull (Larus delawarensis).
		DOWN: Both Common Gulls and the Ring-billed feed daily during lowtide by picking-up the algae from the mudflat, searching for little fish, crabs or shrimps (see top of the photo), while Black-headed Gulls prefere picking food by swimming on shallow water (see bottom).
		The Ring-billed Gull (first or second for Italy, if accepted) was found by Menotti Passarella on 18-Dec-2000, and again on 23-Dec-2000, 6-Jan-2001, 22-Jan-2001, 3-Feb-2001 and 12-Feb-2001.
